I forget how big I'm blessed...

Have you ever just had a moment when you realize just how blessed you are? I mean I know I am blessed without a doubt, but sometimes it seems that I forget or I just think that I deserve certain things. When in reality, I don't deserve anything. Random thought for the day. I honestly feel like that is something God is really teaching me right now. "In the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I'm blessed!"

Anyways. Last night was The Well (for those of one who don't know what The Well is....it's a campus ministry that I have went to since freshmen year. 500 college kids gathered together to worship and learn more about JESUS! It's awesome!)
 Back to my story, last night was The Well, like I said, and we have been in a series called Word Play which is basically just about how important our words actually are. I've noticed I complain or grumble A LOT. I honestly don't know why I do, but I feel like if I complain it makes me feel better in a way? I don't know. But, as I was thinking about how much I complain these past couple of days, I was thinking about how it effects people around me.  I know when I'm in a good mood and someone is just complaining the whole time, I eventually get in a bad mood too. On the opposite side, if you are always in good spirits and in a good mood, it rubs off on people. Last night, James said that the person we are talking to should be lifted up as a result of your conversation. Wow. Talk about feeling convicted big time! I felt I had been smacked in the face. Haha. My life is not horrible. I don't get why I complain so much and all the time. So, here is my challenge to myself and all who read.....let's try our absolute hardest to not complain the rest of week.
