Five Minute Friday: Tired
At this point in my life I have alot going on, and I LOVE it, but I have alot that I am juggling and tired is apparently a trigger complaining word to me. Well when I think about it and consider having to write on it for 5 minutes. :/
When I think about the word my mind immidiately begins racing over tiny complaints that I am tired of, but then the Spirit of the Lord reminds me that these complaints are small in comparison to the surpassing Greatness of Knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and in Whom I would gladly give my life to share in the fellowship of His sufferings, (Phil. 3) and therefore how can I complain?
I am Tired of struggling with a negative heart and attitude. I am tired of viewing my little, passing, insignificant things as monumental and completely missing the Big Picture. I am tired of complaining over a broken fingernail and being too busy focused on my nail problem that I don't notice that my neighbor just lost her hand. Or even worse complaining that my overall perfectly healthy child has a cold and not giving thought to a neighbor who just misscarried.
I am tired of me getting in the way of being used by Him because I can't get my eyes off of me. :)
I pray that GOD uses my life to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and to do that, there's a Lot of me, that's got to be surrendered!
