Just some thoughts in a random PMS mind!
Today's post is totally inspired by PMS! I just need to get a few things off my chest. First, why is it that every time I go to hang window treatments or hardware for the windows in my house that I end up running into metal in the walls. I seriously try to avoid the "metal areas" every time and inevitably hit them every time! It is the curse of the Craig Home! However, I did get one curtain and the hardware hung up in our bonus room yesterday and it looks great! Now to tackle the next window!
Next let me just say that I have the shortest patience on earth when it come to things that I have to deal with at work. I know part of my lack of patience is the fact that I would rather be home tending to my husband, children and my home. However, I am here and I know that I am here for a reason. God has made it clear over several years now that this matter is in his hands and for me to just trust him. So I am, but I am slightly being a brat the past couple of weeks. Lets just be honest. We all can be that bratty child from time to time and right now is my time. I want my way and I am not getting it so I pout! Which makes me think how grateful I am that God does not get annoyed with me the way I get annoyed with others who pout. I am so thankful he loves me in spite of my silly and immature ways. I wish I was more accepting of what occurs sometimes in life. Guess it all goes back to the lyrics from the song we sung as children...."He's still working on me."
Keeping on the same lines about being a brat. I deal all the time with venting my frustrations. I tend to say what I think out loud and sometimes that it is tacky. Honestly, I deal with my mouth all the time because if I don't like something; I say something about it. It tends to just be one of my bratty actions. So the past couple of days I have been asking God for a new memory verse and today I was just at a loss because I couldn't believe I didn't have one yet and it is the middle of the month. Well, he gave me one and I over looked it and then when I am about to shut the bible I turned to it again. I think he has decided to make me deal with my mouth and my brattiness.
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29 NIV
Needless to say this hit home and stepped on a toe or two. Guess I will sum up my PMS with a bouquet to end this rambling post. I am blessed to be here with a job when so many are facing layoffs and terminations. I am blessed to have a mouth that I can speak from and should use it wisely. I am blessed for all the challenges that I face at work everyday that keep me from becoming bored with my job. I am blessed to be a child of God and know that I know I am going to be home in heaven some day without the frustrations and worries of this world. And last but not least, I am blessed to be a wife and mom and to have the gifts that I have been given in my two precious and healthy boys.
God I love you for loving me and all my imperfections!

The good Lord put us where we are for a reason, and we might not ever understand why. We wonder why road blocks appear (big or small) in "our" life plan; however, God has his own plan. Once you believe that in your heart and mind, then everything happening for a reason starts to make more sense.
All of us are blessed in so many different ways. This is where I realized that there is more good than bad in my life and the lives around me. Something that I have to work on every day. We all do.
It's one day at a time.
