Hi all! How are you? I am an avid reader of other folks' blogs and while reading through some the other day I came across this statement:
Man, this really spoke to me!! I have been so convicted about the many times a day I complain, either aloud or to myself, about all the responsibilities I have and how I can never get anything done because of all the interruptions in my day (and on and on and on). When I read this wonderfully put together sentence I thanked the Lord for meeting me where I was and helping me do something about it. God is so awesome in a hundred thousand ways, but one way that I have been thanking Him for lately is not letting me stay in a state of discontentment. He wants the better thing for me. After some prayer and talking it out with God I have come to some conclusions that I need some sort of break each week from the stuff that I am called to do, but on the other hand I can control my attitude about how I am going to react to the situations that arise in my day to day life. I know that I will not be perfect about this complaining stuff, so don't think that about me at all. It will be a work in progress, but thank you Lord for the progress!! Paul said to be content in whatever circumstances you are placed in (Phil. 4:11). He was talking about some money issues going down, but I can take away from this verse the ability to resolve to be content with the place that God has me in right now. I love you all.
P.S. I got the "contentment statement" from Priscilla Shirer's blog. Her web address www.goingbeyond.com/blog. She is totally cool!
