Friday's CUP

We've all been faced with choices to do or not do something (in my case purchase something) and then the conviction starts in, then you have the "justification jargon" with yourself trying to see if it's still "okay". Well I had a victory in this particular choice this week, thankfully, and I didn't go through with the purchase. But afterwards, on the thoughts went...I did the right thing I know I did...yes it was right...thank you Lord for giving me pause and allowing the time for a choice. But then came part B.....I came to realize that I was frustrated with my decision - I think more frustrated that it was the "right" decision and why did it have to be right. As I pondered and prayed through my attitude this week, I realized that I was feeling as if I was owed something because I made the right decision instead of just being relieved and happy with the fact "I did the right thing". I truly was in a place of....I did the right thing so blessing, preferably a tangible blessing, will no doubt follow. It didn't instead I turned a good decision into a struggle...hmmmmm will I ever grow up and be better at these things...perhaps someday...still a work in progress! Happy Friday...Cheers!
