Days I feel like grumbling and complaining, I'm the most unpleasant person to be around. I let everything bug me and don't let things go (i.e. I always feel unappreciated). This is a huge fault I have and have been working on it very hard since Hubs came home in June. I let every frustration get to me, even the dumbest things like what people do on Facebook. I'm not sure if you can relate or not, but if so--you know how bothersome that can be. I feel so selfish and guilty for even acting like that. I was reading a FB post today and I came across this status,
"Ladies, Please pray for us. We are in the midst of a very serious, deadly spiritual battle in our home, as my husband is deployed. Our daughter struggles with an eating disorder called anorexia, and it is threatening to snuff the life out of her, even as I write. Test results have confirmed her heart is slowing down. The battle is intensifying as she is days away from getting into treatment. Our h
earts are breaking. Please pray for us in our time of weakness, pray for her life to be spared, for in this moment we know the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groaning too deep for Words. (Romans 8:26-27) Satan can't have her, she belongs to the Lord!!!
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:10-12 ~Sherry"
I feel so guilty for always thinking about myself when there is so much more to life than worrying why Maria is doing this on fb, Dolly wasting her money, Bob running around on his wife, and how the Jone's don't take care of their children. It's not my place to judge, although, I do. There is a verse that has always stuck to me growing up "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with this measure you use, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-2, but keep reading through 5. Makes you sit back and think. I can count on one hand many times I am guilty of this. There is so much going on and people to pray for and here I am worrying about you what you are doing and not myself. I'm a worry wart and I am trying hard not to let people like YOU bug me anymore :)
I'm hopping off--making Turkey Chili Taco Soup for supper tonight. I better get on it! Have a good day!
