Tuesday....I call it THINK Tuesday Donald Duck, because today I was talking to a group of coworkers at work and Haskin made me really THINK about my conversation. Haskin stated how I always complained about how much kids cost. I stopped and thought to myself, while my coworkers continue to talk, and I thought that's what Moms do when we get together we VENT to other moms. Well, after I thought about it and the conversation was heading in another direction I just hugged Haskin and said thank you. I mean I HAVE so much to be thankful for, but I have to be honest. I get in MY MOOD...I call it the Donald Duck mood. In fact, I have this picture hanging in my kitchen because literally after 5 minutes of fussing I realize it was not worth the fussing, besides no one listens to me because I am speaking in anger. In the Disney films, Donald Duck would just loose his temper and start fussing and you can't figure out what he is saying...yep that is me! Donald Duck literally fussed over the stupidest things too. Yep, that is me! My husband and Mom call it the Malone temper--I get it from my Daddy :). I know some of you Moms are awesome like Leave it to Beaver's Mom and NEVER FUSS, well I am a full redhead and I just start fussing when I had enough....you hear me ENOUGH! Maybe because I am tired, I mean I work all day come home and I just want to sit down...yeah right, or it could be that Madelyn Grace is not sleeping, or Jackson acting up, or it could be I am just plain mean..LOL. You see I start acting like Donald Duck, I start fussing about my house being dirty, fussing about not having a pretty yard, fussing about not having "me" time, fussing about not having enough money, fussing not having a carport(yes, when it rains I am bloody mad), fussing about my weight, hair etc. You get the picture....I FUSS, but maybe because I have been missing the mark....You see I stated above I fuss when I had enough...think Devon...enough...enough..and then God spoke to me as I stopped for the 50th time to play animals with Jackson, God said ENOUGH:
E-Everyone is fighting a battle you, Devon, are not the only one
N-no more whining or complaining---STOP IT
O-one--find one or two people you can vent to and let it stop there
U-Understand God has plans for me
G-Grace---Amazing Grace God has given to me and I am thankful
H-Hold on because God is going to show up just HOLD ON
So as my coworker(friend) Haskin was picking on me this morning about me complaining she didn't say it in a mean tone she sharpen me to realize how blessed I am. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1
So Moms who have had ENOUGH lets STAY CALM and lets not be like Donald Duck :) For those of you who don't fuss....please share your secret :).
BP Corner: He Loves me as Christ loves me. He reminds me how blessed I am and he ignores me when I act like Donald Duck...LOL
Be blessed,
devon
