Rylee has a book called "Sophie and Sam" It is the cutest book ever. It has about 10 stories that talk about "Telling The Truth", "Say Yes To Respect", "Say No To Meanies" and stories like that. They all have a verse at the end of each story. Well one story is called "Say No To Whining". And in the story it says that when ever you whine all I hear out of my ear is blah, blah, blah. It has more to the story than that. Many times when we hear Rylee whining all I have to say is "Rylee do I hear blah, blah, blah?" and from there she knows not to whine.
Well I feel like I have been whining a lot lately. Maybe not out loud. But defiantly in my head. I keep feeling sorry for myself. I keep whining and saying "Why Me?". I need to stop... I want to stop....I am just not sure how???
So after talking to one of my friends she has said I just need to ask God "why am I not content" (that is what I am whining about) and ask him what am I missing??
This is a hard task to do. I am getting much better and talking to God and hearing him. But this is sure a tough one. I am not sure if I am not listening because maybe I don't want to hear what he has to say?? Or maybe I don't hear him because I am so consumed with me? I have all these thoughts and maybe's running through my head...ugggg.
The truth is I do desire to know what he has to say. Because IF I can hear him out I know with his truth will come REAL PEACE and that is what I miss and that is what I desire. It is what I crave! I want it and I need it!! I need HIS peace! So if you can keep me in your prayers for hearing God out in this, I would greatly appreciate it. And I am going to do my best to "Say No To Whining"

I have the hardest time quieting the chatter in my head in order to allow God to speak to me. I get frustrated that He doesn't talk to me, but I always realize that I very rarely ever give Him a chance! I'll be praying that you get the comfort and contentment you crave. :)
Thank you for sharing your heart and being real & transparent with things most people don't want to admit. I believe you do hear Him Amy and He is depositing little truths every day into your spirit. I love the lessons we can learn from our kids & God speaks through Rylee to show His amazing love for you. I will be praying for His peace & joy to overwhelm your life. Blessings, Jean :-)
