On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I chatted with Maggie Combs about the deep desires of our hearts that cause real grief when they remain unfulfilled. Maggie is the author of UnsuperMommy and mama to her three busy boys: Isaac, Zander, and Judah. She blames their unending energy and solid build completely on her tall, active husband, Wes. Maggie and I talked about everything from why God allows some of our desires to go unmet to where the Gospel meets us in those unmet expectations. She said,   “Only in nearness to God will we have all of our desire fulfilled. I like to call this holy discontent. This means that the purpose of this unmet desire is to constantly remind you that only God will satisfy the unending desire of your heart. Elizabeth Elliot says, ‘Heaven is not here, it’s there. If we were given all that we wanted here our hearts would settle for this world and not the next.’ So this holy discontentment is a kindness to keep us longing for more of God.”     Maggie literally had me saying, “Amen,” throughout the podcast which thankfully, doesn’t happen often, but I know you guys will be fist pumping with me as she gracefully and powerfully brings the truth on this episode. I hope ya’ll enjoy it as much as I did!   MAGGIE’S RESOURCES Words Worth Noting Grief and Sorrow Cards Sovereign by Chris Tomlin God is Good by Dustin Kensrue Biblical Counseling CCEF Faith Biblical Counseling Conference   MAGGIE’S SIMPLE JOYS Voxer Sunsets and Sunrises Fainting Goats     OTHER RESOURCES Gospel Treason by Brad Bigney Gospel Treason Sermon by Brad Bigney The Weight of Glory by C.S.
