Eore, Chicken Little and Tigger

Eore, Chicken little and Tigger

I have noticed that it seems that I have three cartoon charters living inside me and guide my emotions. The first one is Eore, who all ways sees the negative in life. Even if life is great he sees the negative. For Example: This weekend I got to see my kids. It was a GREAT time. We went bowling on Friday and all so went and saw a movie. Then on Saturday we went to a parade and then went and watched the UW Platteville game. It was a great time with the kids. When I was driving home I looked at the negative. Oh I just get to see them for a day and a half. My ex-wife gave me a box of my things and of course I saw the negative in that. But all in all it was a great weekend.

Chicken little sees the world as it is falling apart. I again thought the world was falling apart on my way home as I was beating myself up for the past. Knowing that it is me that has caused the things to be the way they are.

Then there’s tigger. When I finally get out of the first two attitudes I bounce around knowing that life is not that bad. No care in the world.

This is one thing I am working on. Being balanced with my emotions. I am better than I was, but I could be doing a lot better. It is encouraging when I read the Bible and I see that those who God used had there problems to. In my reading this morning I read about the great flood. And after the flood Noah got drunk! But God still used him even though he slipped up.

It seems that God wants to use us if we are willing. He has not called the sinless, or He would use angels. He has called me to do the best I can. And to do the best I can do is to continue to seek Him. I know that He can use my mistakes/sins for His glory.
