dear journal, im in a bad mood and i need to vent.

uuuuugh. i am in such a mean mood right now. i seriously just feel so irritated and angry with everything, even if there isn’t anything wrong. which there isn’t, but in my head i feel like everything is wrong. does that make sense? it does and it doesn’t.

what the heck.

let me try and talk to myself instead of listen to myself.  

why are you thinking these things? stop being self-righteous and controlling.

you have a husband and family who loves you.

you have a nice home and vehicles and things, things.

why don’t you start praying? Lord knows you haven’t done that in a while. “…present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4: 6-7

why am i being so discontent? good grief.

stop focusing on what you aren’t and focus on what you are. use your gifts to serve others. doesn’t that bring you joy?

shouldn’t you be focusing on how you could be serving others instead of how others could be serving you? how about your husband? cut him some slack. why don’t you try and make his life wonderful and be an example to your child as to how to love and serve your husband selflessly and stop whining about what he isn’t doing for you. not that he doesn’t already do enough for me and i am just being ungrateful. darn ungratefulness.

what could you be doing with your time right now, the time you are using to complain and be irritated? something useful maybe?

i am so tired of watching movies and being on the computer. isn’t there any other kind of fun entertaining things that we could do? seriously. how lame are we?!

grr. ugh.

how to get out of this mood? well my Bible says: “whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is noble, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about sich things.” phil 4:8 – i guess i will try that and see how it works. sounds right. if i keep letting my mind dwell on all of this negative drap then i don’t see my attitude getting any better.

On a positive random note to myself that other people really don’t care about… I am going to conquer two new recipes this week that i am really excited about.

 the. end.
