So here’s the thing. I complain like it’s my job. And I don’t even realize it.

“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.” -Phillipians 2:14-16

Probably about five months ago in Bible study, we were going through Phillipians, and talking about complaining and how it was wrong… And then just the other night, we talked about repentance and turning away from our sin. I think I had honestly convinced myself that there was no sin in my life that I was actually capable of fleeing and running the opposite direction. I mean, I’m full of sin and nasty, convoluted pride, but the repentance I’m moving towards in that area is a completely different story. Right now, I’m talking about a behavior change that needs to happen in my life. Seriously.

If I truly recognize that the petty, selfish complaining that comes out of my mouth every single day is actually an outward expression of SIN in my life—not just a “struggle” or part of my personality or other pitiful excuses—then I need to RUN from it. I don’t want to be characterized in any way by my sinful nature.

So I made a blog on Tumblr this semester, but I want to be able to follow my dear friends who are on this Blogspot thing... Therefore, I'm gonna see how well doubling up goes. Given that I fail at blogging even on one blog, it might not work. But hey. It's worth a shot.
