Oh, Be Careful Little Mouth What You Say

"Oh, be careful little mouth what you say..."

I learned a lot of songs in church when I was younger.  Man, that one still rings true.  Be careful little eyes what you see.  Be careful little ears what you hear.  Be careful little mouth what you say.  I should have remembered that earlier this week when I whined that this would be the week from hell.

I came into this week knowing that I'd have 2 events at work that I was in charge of on Friday.  I knew that I was co-leading GIRL Talk on Friday night.  And I knew that I was leading our church's Harvest Festival tomorrow.  There was a lot of planning and running around left for the festival and just thinking about it all had me feeling overwhelmed.

"This is going to be the week from hell!" I groaned.

Wanna know what happened next?

I got sick.  On Tuesday I started coughing and I've been at it ever since.  This ain't no cold.  It feels like I felt when I had bronchitis in December.  Boo!

Who knows if I would have gotten sick if I hadn't said that.  What matters is how I respond.  No more whining and complaining for me.  God is still on the throne.  I'm still His child.  He's still taking care of me.  Nothing has changed in my life this weekend.  I still have to get up early tomorrow and work all day.  But I'll have a good attitude.  :-)
