I must admit I'm having a problem with this semesters small group study. Not because I have some healing choices to make but because there are things in this study to which I cannot relate. Most of the stories in the book deal with an abuse of some sort (alcohol, drugs, sex or porn.) I do not have any addictions. I know in the last post I stated that my downfall would be food. Well, come to find out I know how to control it and have. Another thing these stories deal with is feeling far away from God. I DO NOT feel far away from God. Quite the contrary. I speak to God daily and on several occasions daily. I've never been abused or had an addiction that I couldn't kick. I love my family (yes, including my in-laws) and I love God. One thing this study has made me realize is what a truly blessed and privileged life I really have. I have absolutely nothing about which to complain! I have it all, everything that I ever could have asked for! So why do I complain about some trivial things? Aha! That is the question! If I have it all then why do I complain about what I have?
From now on I will consciously choose to not complain. That's going to be a tall order and I know that I will fail a lot but I will do my very best.
