My Walk Monday

Philippians 2:14-15

14 Do all tings without complaining and disputing,
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world.


One of my biggest pet peeves is complainers. but last night as I sat reading this i was having a complaining spirit of my own. For what i will not say. But I will try to have a much better focus today! And for the rest of the week. I will “suck it up and deal with it” if you will.

I try not to complain and/or feel sorry for myself. It’s not something I find attractive in other people and though I don’t think I was sinning in my thought life last night i could see that i was treading on dangerous ground. I don’t think that most people realize how awful they sound when they get self-absorbed . Last night I was focused on me. My hurt feelings my struggles and when we start saying “I” so much we loose sight of other people. So where I was hurt because other people were dwelling in the “I” zone “I” started to feel left out!!!!

When we get caught in the “I’ zone we get tunnel vision and don’t care who outside of our veiw finder we run over and trample!

I don’t want that!!

Simple Woman’s Day book #6

FOR TODAY (August 18,2008)…
Outside My Window… Gray morning. It’s supposed to be warm..I hope so!

I am thinking… a lot about friendships and after last weekends fiasco I found myself thinking and wishing for a
Jonathan/David in my life.

I am thankful for…a God who understands me personally and loves me just the way that i m…Though He Himself
inspires growth and strength!

From the kitchen…Egg bake, tacos, and leftovers!
I am wearing…My brother’s issued Gray Army long sleeved, mock Turtle neck shirt, two tone blue shorts, Athletic socks and
my hair is down!

I am creating…A sanctuary in my home…..though it’s been hard to focus on that as of late!

I am going…For once I am actually going somewhere..We are going to a local Amusement park to meet with some friends from out
in Salt lake City Utah. I have seen them in 6 years but hubby
saw them at Kevin’s memorial service last month!

I am reading…The Bible…Isaiah, Proverbs and Philippians

I am hoping...to break through this mental block I have had all last week. I need to shake this desperately!

I am hearing…The oh so annoying hum of our computer fan and the typing on my keyboard!

Around the house…Lots of straightening!!! Vacuuming and some (not a lot) of laundry….not to mention packing for this weekends
trip to Long Island

One of my favorite things…Cheesecake…I Love Cheesecake!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:I think i already mentioned them in around the house but I would really like to get
the kids toy’s sorted for our sometime yard sale!

Here is picture thought I am sharing..
