I Don't Want To

Do you ever have times where you think to yourself, "I just really don't want to do that." And it maybe even comes out in a whiny voice in your head.  Yeah, I have those moments. It never fails that somehow I know that God is saying, "I know you don't want to, but do."  Inevitably when I do, there is so much more gain than I would have thought.  Of course, I have to go at it with an attitude adjustment.  I'm reminded that life's not always, or ever, about me.  It's about how God chooses to use me.  So my attitude is one of, "God, what are we going to do with this situation?" It makes the situation more bearable, yes, but ultimately, it makes the situation valuable. God is always at work in, around, and through me, even when I don't necessarily want Him to be. ;-)
