This weekend's message was about putting an end to complaining. Monday morning we were asked what was one thing that really struck a chord when we heard the message. For the most part I don't complain about one major thing, with the exception of bad drivers (which I was told didn't count). I have small little complaints which normally take place in my head. I don't like listening to complainers (even de-friended people on fb who were complainers...I know....O M Gosh), so i'm not going to annoy anyone else with mine. But the message did get me thinking about the way I think about things. There are some things that I joke about in my life that don't necessarily set me up for success. Here are two:
I call it "the two week curse", it's the nickname i've given my dating life. It's basically the average time that a guy is interested in me and then disappears. Because of this I am pretty much terrified of dating someone I actually like, I don't want to get hurt. Due to this nickname I realized i'm setting myself up to fail before I even start. It's time to kill off the nickname. Goodbye negativity!
The 2nd is something almost every female deals with...my body. I know I am not overweight by any means (out of shape...maybe) but there are times I HATE my body. Why do I feel this way? Well I make jokes like "ugh my butt is getting big" or "hey muffin top, how's it going?". How am I suppose to see myself as God's beautiful creation when I am constantly putting it down?
So it's the end of story for both of these two complaints. No more fat jokes or dating curses. I will however still complain about incompetent drivers...especially here in Stillwater ;).
