This isn't fair! Do I have to do this!? I dont want to do that! Okay, so just incase you didn't recognize these phrases they are sayings that I see as complaints. Something that I find myself doing A LOT. But this is also something that I want to pray about for improvement this year. The funny thing about me is that when ever I complain I always feel stupid about it afterward. I mean I have a roof over my head, food in my refrigerator, clothes in my closet and parents who love and take care of me, YET, I still find something to complain about. I feel that as a growing christian woman this is something that has to stop. I'm not helping anything when I do it, and I'm definitely not helping myself.
Philipians 2:14-15 says "Do everything without complaining or arguing. So that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the Universe."
How can I expect to be a shining star of the universe if I am constantly complaining about materialistic things. Besides the fact that God does a wonderful job at taking care of me, He sent His Son to die for me! Someone died for me and I am still complaining about how I don't want to wash the last dish in the sink.
If I am going to win someone over this year, I am definitely going to need a reality check. Because this complaining has got to stop ASAP. If Jesus willingly gave his life for me without one complaint, I can manage to wash one dish without complaining.
I feel that the dust that I have yet to brush off is keeping my star from shining to it's full effect. I should probably get to cleaning.
