Complaints are for the birds.

Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I was talking with the Lord, and I committed to Him to not complain about ANYTHING today. Nothing, nada, not one little thing. You see I have noticed that lately whenever something goes wrong, when I have a problem, or am just plain annoyed, I pick up my phone and call my husband, my friend, or my mom and I gripe and complain about it. The thing is, whenever these problems, annoyances, situations or occurrences happen, there is only One that I should be seeking, only One I should talk to, and that's Jesus. I need to seek Him in every circumstance, now matter how small. When the kids are driving me mad, I need to talk to Jesus, when the basement leaks and all the clothes get wet, I need to talk to Jesus, when the guy at Sonic is driving me crazy and won't stop talking, won't give me my Diet Coke, all the while Ella is screaming her stinkin head off, I need to talk to Jesus.

You see, when I don't talk to Jesus, I am not very nice. I say things I shouldn't, I snap at my husband, I yell at my kids, I frown a lot. I don't like who I am when God and I aren't tight, and we can't be tight unless I'm talking to Him everyday!

So, today I've had some things come my way that I usually would have compained about, but not today, today I'm talking to Jesus. And you know what, its been a pretty great day!

Here's some pictures of my kids, just because I think all posts should have something you can look at!
