B90Days or BUST


My house has been plagued by a rather pungent, downright nasty odor.

The vile source of this putrid stench is my stinking attitude.

My kids are driving me crazy. They won't listen, they're always arguing, I have to raise my voice to get their attention.

Daily.Living.Is.A.NON-STOP.Battle.And.It.STINKS!!!

Potpourri anyone?

I'm a firm believer that children are a reflection. If what you're seeing isn't sitting well with you... guess what....

I will be the first to admit that I have been hard to get along with lately. Usually I'm easy going but for some reason I am finding pretty much everyone to be the source of extreme annoyance as of late.

Spray some febreeze on that!

Ever gone so long without cracking open your Bible or really talking to God that you're down right embarrassed to even try getting back in the routine?

"Uhmmm, Hi God, I know I'm supposed to talk to you non-stop... sorry I've kept you on hold for the past six months."

Shewwww-eeeee!!! Roll me in baking soda its getting ugly!

Seriously, I'm a moron. I know better than this! Yet here I sit, stinking it up worse than Stanley the Stink Bug. (Any other mother's of pre-schoolers out there?)

I have no one but myself to blame for my rotten attitude. This depressed, annoyed, moody, selfish, angry version of me is all my fault. And its going to take more than a few billion odor eaters to get rid of the stench.

"God's Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self controlled."

So I'll be picking up The Sword and going to battle with my stinky rotten flesh.

Love this post! You hit the nail on the head. For a while I felt like I was just running in circles and had no direction, I needed to get into God's word and just focus. So glad I found out about B90Days, it was just what I needed. Glad you've joined us.
