So, I've noticed this about myself: I only post when I have something nice to say. Let's face it, I can't be in a good mood all the time! I thought I'd give this a try ...
This has been a really rough week for me emotionally. I don't know if it's my lack of sleeping, hormones, poor attitude in general, or let's go with ... all of the above. Whatever the reason, I haven't necessarily been the nicest person to be around! I hate being hormonal. I hate crying in front of people; I hate crying in general. Unfortunately that's been my week. I have a verse from Proverbs (3:30) underlined in my Bible, "Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm." Next to this verse, I have written "PMS" to remind myself that hormones are not an excuse to pick a fight! Ya, well, easier said than done, I guess.
To make matters worse, I decided that I would rather wallow in my self-pity than confess my sin to the Lord. Ya, that worked really well, I'd say! Uh do you sense a slight bit of sarcasm here? Why did I feel that wallowing would be better than praying and reading God's Word? Dunno, can't answer that. I can't say it made me feel any better. Probably worse, if I were to be honest.
This is a much better option: pick up God's Word; read 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Without this, there can't be fellowship with God, which is what is lacking in my heart this week, because I chose to dwell in my sin instead. Well, I've confessed my sin to the Lord ...
... And to those of you (I'm sure you know who you are) who were the recipients of said bad mood - I am sorry, truly sorry.
