complaint free week
Okay, I admit it. I complain way too much. Most of my complaining is done in the form of sarcastic statements (i.e. “Oh, wow! You mean you actually managed to put your very own dinner plate into the dishwasher? Wow!”). I can complain in the form of making a joke about something, but it’s still complaining.
I do that with God, too. I remember very distinctly praying, every single day for well over a year, “God, why did You put us here? I HATE where we’re living. Couldn’t You send us to Alaska? You know I like the mountains. Why do I have to live in such a hot, humid, nasty place?”
I know I groan every morning when Attison wakes me up ~ it’s before 10am; that’s how I know I groan. Even if I don’t necessarily remember it, I know I complain in some way. I’m not a morning person.
Sheila Gregoire at To Love, Honor and Vacuum is hosting a Complaint Free Week. You can go here to read her post and find out what it’s all about. I’m going to participate. I’m posting so everyone knows I’m participating. There are things I say that can seem like complaining even when I don’t mean to be complaining. So there’s going to be a whole lot of watching my tongue going on around my house this week!

Thanks for joining me for Complaint Free Week! It’s hard. I’ve had to stop myself several times today. I tried to convince myself I was offering “observations” rather than complaints, but no go.
But we can do it!

I am participating as well and look forward to what God has to reveal to me through this challenge.
