Hurrrrrrk

😑

I need to just... start collaging all the Tumblr posts and Bible verses I see and read that COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE ANY PLAINER an answer to whatever my prayer/grouse/grumble/rebellion du jour is.

He is not subtle. -_-

#Christian toddler temper tantrum #It's been going on for... months now #It exasperates me no end when I try to give my children a treat and they regard it with suspicion and distaste #And yet for... months. Three months? Four months? I have been shrieking at God #“I DON'T WANT IT!!!” about a blessing He has very blatantly wanted to give me #And He is being SO PATIENT #But I still DON'T WANT IT #I don't CARE if it's for my good and would make me so much happier! I don't want it!!!#I don't want to put in the effort it would require to ready ME for such a blessing #I would rather sit as a squalid little pot in my squalid little corner than undergo the necessary cleansing and crucibling...#(I don't care if I just made that word up) (It's accurate)#I'm TIRED #And I already know what cleansing and crucibling will take #And I dread it #I'd much rather sulk and whine than accept the Good Thing #Sulking and whining is easy and Character Development is not #I am lazy. And tired.#Some years ago I read a book called Hinds Feet On High Places and it was an excellent sequel to Pilgrim's Progress #Just wonderful and I loved reading it #But I find I don't like living it #*Whinge* *whine* Waah waah waah etc...#...anyway He's basically dropping a brick a day on my head now so I think He's maybe about done indulging me and my tantrums so #my options are get my hiney in gear and get ready to accept cleansing and crucibling or I'm just gonna get unceremoniously precipitated #into it (As has been His method throughout my life until recently)
