Don't get me wrong, I am happy. I love my life. I just feel when people are constantly saying the same thing over and over they are either trying convince themselves or others of something that may not actually be true.
Oh yeah - this blog is a vent or a rant or whatever you want to call it.
I hate it when people post pics of other peoples kids when they have children of their own. Not just one two pics but many many pics.
Then there are the people who you wonder have anything good in their life. Everything they write is negative. How sick they are, how sick their kid is, how this and that isn't happening right - these people I delete :) I have enough problems in my life, I don't have time or energy for yours.
Then there are the drama people - I am amazed at these people. I merely keep them as a friend to bring something "happening" to my news feed. There is never a dull moment with them in the drama department. Drama finds them and knocks them over and then sometimes I believe they go looking for it also. Mind you, having two teen girls in the house there is always some type of drama going on but I don't post every little thing that goes on.
At our couples retreat earlier this month, one of the couples who gave a testimony about their marriage talked about a "pact" she had with some of her co-workers about not throwing each other under the bus and was later convicted when she realized she didn't do that to them but did it to her husband and vowed to stop throwing him under the bus.
I was convicted not only about my husband but my children also. No, they are not perfect but it is not fair to them for me to throw their lives under the bus for all to see. Yes, they can get on my nerves, piss me off and make me want to pull my hair out, but they are my children and I love them. The same for my husband.
After being around one of my sister in laws for a little while, it didn't take me long to realize that she couldn't be pleased with anything. She always complained and it always involved her husband. It didn't take me long to decide within myself that I would not be that kind of wife, especially around family. I want to lift him up, show them how proud I am of him and yes, if they are, jealous.
We have been married 20 years, so for 20 years I have heard her complain about him. Its no wonder he never looks happy.
Philippians 4:8
King James Version (KJV)
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
I want this to be true in my and my family's life. With this, there will be little to no drama.
I want this to be true in my and my family's life. With this, there will be little to no drama.
