"content to receive from God whatever He deems fit for me"

From Joni Erickson-Tada's website/blog:
"our afflictions come from the hand of our all-wise and sovereign God, and although cancer is something new, I am content to receive from God whatever He deems fit for me – even if it is from His left hand (better from His left hand, than no hand at all, right?!). ....utterly convinced that God is going to use this to stretch our faith, brighten our hope, and strengthen our witness to others…"


She is referring to her latest diagnosis of breast cancer.  The statement above is a statement that when i heard it my reaction was, 'I want to do that'.  I want to be able to be content to receive from God whatever He deems fit for me.  In one of my earlier post, I shared that I have often cried out to God to help me be 'healthy again'...but maybe what I need to bring to God's holy throne is guidance on how to learn to be content to receive from God whatever He deems fit for me???  I want that, whatever He gives to me, to be evidenced by the stretching of our faith, brightening our hope, and to strengthen our witness to others--how about you??  

What does learning to be content mean?  By way of definition and the Webster's Dictionary, it means satisfied.  So let's rewrite the above statement like this: I am satisfied to receive from God whatever He deems fit for me...   It reads much differently then doesn't it??  Does the definition fit to your original thought??  Sometimes seeing the definition of a word makes it's meaning much different than how it is being used in a sentence/context.
