Are You Focusing On The Wrong Thing?

We’ve got so much going on in our everyday lives, good and bad. We work to pay bills, care for our kids and get stuck in our everyday routines. Whenever anything goes wrong, that seems to be all we could focus on. We whine and complain about everything, while letting things ruin our day. Not to mention getting offended easily. Without even realizing it, we are missing out on life’s everyday blessings. Could we be missing the “miracle” right in front of us by focusing on the wrong thing?

Can’t Hear Over the Tantrum

I spent most of my day whining and complaining to God about how frustrated I was. I didn’t know what I was doing and didn’t want to do what I believe he told me to do (write/illustrate a children’s book). The last time I had drawn was in high school which was about 13 years ago. It’s been about 2 years since I believe he told me to do this and I still haven’t finished yet. I am always making up an excuse not to work on it honestly, I just feel clueless and overwhelmed so I procrastinate. I finally wrote the story almost a year ago, but boy am I dragging with the illustration part! I don’t know what I’m doing, and it seems like a lot of work. I feel scared, the sketches look ugly to me and I don’t know my style of drawing… these are all my thoughts, feelings and complaints to God. I’ve tried to pray and ask God for peace and guidance, after all I believe He is the one who told me to do it. It definitely wasn’t my idea to deal with this pressure while still working as a full-time nurse overnight and being a mom. What I needed was to shut up to hear from God!Continue reading
