Truthful Tuesday: Mission Envy?

Ok...total honesty here. I suffer from Mission Envy at times.
To be clear, I do not want what others have INSTEAD of them...I just want things in my life and ministry to be AS blessed, AS expedient, AS mind blowing, AS "glamorous?"...AS {fill in the blank}.
I have talked to others who are only up to their ankles or knees in ministry right now who have similar feelings. We want things to happen in a miraculously rapid manner. When I hear a friend receives an anonymous donation that pays off the HUGE balance of what she owes on her adoption, I am THRILLED for her....honestly - CHILLBUMPS happy for her. But...I covet the anonymous donor. I would be lying if I said it never crossed my mind.
I have a dear, sweet new friend who is traveling a similar path with us. She shares my feelings & struggles. We also have another "thing" in common": wise husbands who have BOTH reminded us that God's timing is perfect - and His timing blesses us - and He cares lovingly for us - and prepares us for what lies ahead. Waitning is not 'bad.'
So...when I am suffering from mission envy, I have to lift my eyes up to the one who plans my days, the one who wants the best for me....the one who really and truly does not WANT me to learn things the hard way. In light of this assurance...I wait...withOUT envy.
I am happy for those I might be tempted to envy. I delight in their blessings and look forward eagerly to exactly what God has in store for us...a plan that is uniquely and lovingly and perfectly designed for US...and those we will be used to minister to in His name.
