No Whining

So, I'm still sleepy. Not AS sleepy, but still sleepy. This makes me super tempted to complain about how all I do after work is lay around and sleep, so Monday-Friday are pretty much out when it comes to productivity after 4:00. I could go on and on about how everyday is a test of my power to push through and where would this get me? Nowhere. I'd still be sleepy and now you'd be uncomfortable and annoyed because you wouldn't know what to say and you've heard/read it all before on my little blogs of whining. So, I have decided (with the help of a Joyce Meyer book) that God does not want to hear me complain. I will focus on the positive because, if we're being honest here, there's a TON of positive stuff to talk about! I am better: I haven't napped at school yet! For two weeks I have attended not only church, but Sunday School! I am currently not on any medications that boast their dependence! God is good, and I have no right to be critical of all that He has done for me...and isn't that what complaining is? Being critical of God and His work in my life? It's essentially saying that everything He does for me simply is not good enough. I mean, of course we'd never actually say that to Him, but you know as well as I do that we can say a lot without verbally saying it! So, my goal is to be more thankful and less complaining: to see the good and not boast the bad. Of course, I'm not promising that I'll be really good at it (I have, after all, perfected the art of complaining over the last 27 years), but with time I pray that I'll be a more positive, more thankful person. And, most importantly, that I'll give credit to God for all that He does and not be upset that He isn't doing it my way or on my schedule (as I am too often compelled to do).
