How can I complain??

So ladies and gents...I'm sure that you have noticed that I haven't blogged much in the last couple months!!! Well I do apologize but I've definitely had a rough couple months! But please understand I'm not writing this for pity...there is a point and a message! Lol
So yesterday...I had a car accident and my car is out of commission for God knows how long. I felt like it was the straw that broke the camels back! Could anything else go wrong?? Was starting to feel a ot like Job and was getting more than frustrated with my situation! In my moment of weakness, when all the scriptures I tried to read to reassure myself that God would keep his promises were falling somewhat short, my little brother Keith asked me on a date!
He drives me to McDonald's where against my trainers knowledge(LOL) I have a LARGE fries and a caramel sundae!!! YUMMY!!! But comfort food was cheering me slightly and the gesture of my brother spending his hard earned money to treat me!
As we ate, the Tv in McDonalds (and yes I was shocked that McDonald's have flat screens) was showing a breaking news story about the miners in Chili and the rescue mission to save them starting soon. As I sat and watched, my mouth hung open and not from hunger. God slapped me real hard across the back of the head!!! He said girl, here you are complaining about fatigue, finances, injuries, work and cars and these men have been trapped underground for 68 days!!! SHUT UP!!!!
Ok maybe it wasn't just like that but I finally got it! This life and my life more importantly is not about me! Its about the uplift of His kingdom! And although my life isn't perfect and all things are not in alignment, I still must praise Him!
So, this may seem super random as my first blog "back" but I'm on the elliptical in the gym right now watching the footage of the miners and can't help but praise God! I have to say that my mind set has changed and I write this to challenge you to look at life outside of your bubble! Realize that no matter how bad it may look, it could always be worse, but most of all that God keeps his promises and will never forsake us.....
Today, I booked my first commercial in idk how long and a fashion show for Dillard's!!!! Ha! Go figure that when I stop worrying about poor little me and look UPWARD, HE works!!!
Praising God today!
And thanking Him that things are as well as they are!
Love,
Ash
