Today I finished the book 'Me Before You', the ending wasn't the one I have wanted or at least expected. Just to quote one good line, Will's mother said, we hope that he can see that 'there's a life he can enjoy, even if it is not the life he hadn't plan.
The Israelites lived for many years in Egypt that they have adapted Egyptian culture and have been used to the life of being slaves. In their journey to the promise land, they felt as if they were brought from slavery to more wildness experience, more terrible place (Numbers 20:5). They were complaining about how their lives was better in Egypt.

In the desert is where they experienced to be emptied, sanctified, purified. It is where God gave them the ten commandments and sets of guide to living. In the desert is where they had learning, miracles, experiences, and even witness the grace of God despite their stubbornness.
We might have not known what is freedom and fulfillment of God's promises because we have lived a life of slavery. We are so accustomed to living in it that we don't enjoy the journey of His revelations along the way. But yes, there's a life we can enjoy with God in whatever the circumstance (contentment, peace, freedom) even if we are not living in a life we hadn't plan --our own plans (getting rich, having cars, making money).
If we have decided to obey God, and we feel uncomfortable and it feels like we're on the desert, let's not worry, God is working for our real and eternal freedom.
