Feeling pretty sucky this week.
You know, I hate getting wrapped up in situations where I think I might be able to do some good, and then all that ends up happening is that my suckishness just comes oozing forth, and once again I start suspecting that God must have been sleeping the day I was born.
That kind of suckishness can really suck you know.
I hate being down like this, but sometimes it just feels like I’m not making a monkey’s spit of a difference no matter what I set my mind to do. Whether it’s trying to be a friend to someone or working on my blog or doing my job or whatnot, the end result can all be summed up in two words: I SUCK.
Is this really my lot in life? To drift through the years having virtually no impact on anything or anyone? Ugh.
I dunno, maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow after I’ve had some hot cocoa and a good night’s sleep.

sorry to read this…but even in my suckiest days (believe me, i’ve had them. try being detained for 12 hours overseas), i must remember that God knows infinitely better than i do, and that i am not in ultimate control. :)
Linc – do you like to read? Have you read any C.S. Lewis? His book the Screwtape Letters I think you would enjoy. Remember, circumstances are ALWAYS subject to change, God’s love and good plan for you are not, they are eternal. Don’t let the craziness of life “suck” (sorry – corny pun I know!) the life out of you! That’s what the thief wants (to steal, kill and destroy) and Jesus has better plans for you, plans for a good life, to the full till it overflows (paraphrase of the Amplified Bible).
At my old, old age I have had LOTS of days and LOTS of opportunities to say the same about myself. I might tell God how sorry I think I am (but other than that – I will be durned if I will give the devil the satisfaction 2 hear me say it otherwise.)
I try to always say (especially when its sucky) what God has in store for me – cause it keeps me focused on the truth, and tics the devil off and honors God!
I say you ROCK!
yes; also, remember that trials build character and maturity (james 1 and romans 5). jesus didn’t promise a carefree life of happiness, but with the correct perspective during times of difficulty, we are guaranteed to grow more into His likeness, which is the whole goal of progressive sanctification :)
Thanks all, just been in a bad way for a while, and I get tired of seeing that nothing I do ever amounts to anything. Thank God for cookies. :-D
And yes I know C.S. Lewis, and have some of his books (including the Narnia series.) ;)
God’s blessings are all around you, you just need to notice them. Take pleasure in the little things, the things you’re taking for granted. There’s so much to be grateful and thankful for, anything else is just a fire you can either add fuel to, or choose to extinguish.
My mom is a negative person, she only sees what’s bad in her life. She sees everything bad that’s happened, and she keeps looking back at the past. Never looks forward, never pursues anything that might make her happy. In all of the bitterness, she has become completely blind to the good things. It’s a sad thing to watch happen to someone you love – so don’t let it happen to you, okay?
I’ll have to travel quite a distance just to kick your a$$.
Ha!
Rest, my friend…Creator uses the Sucks of this world to confound the unsucks!
No. you really can’t make a difference, but the Spirit of the Living God in you can and does. Your part is important…but it’s still Creator’s story.
So…suck it up and trust God!
(Of course, I know you will do that, but it’s always good to be reminded…I need the reminder often enough myself.)
BTW, I used that line, “Suck it up and trust God,” to wrap up my speech at a woman’s retreat once. Ha! They gasped so loud, they sucked all the air from the room. I was standing there thinking, “What did I say?”
You think YOU suck??? Read @link4justice ‘s post – LOL http://bit.ly/qjkS
Well, everybody has bad days. However, please keep in mind, that if you have inspired/helped even ONE person on this whole planet, you do NOT suck. And looking at these responses,the number in your case is higher than one. So therefore, logically, you do NOT suck!
@Leanne: OH YEAH, HURT ME BABY… uh I mean, that would be terrible. :
@Sandy: True God does use the suckiest of the sucks, so at least I have that going for me.
@J: I wish I could do more than just give people warm fuzzlies, which is partly why I feel teh sucketh sometimes. :(
Wow – thanks for the complete and total honesty of that day – but even giving warm fuzzies will make a difference.
I’m hoping that the warm fuzzies you received from this post helped you to move past the suckish feeling you were being overwhelmed with.
I know you make a difference – just look at your note about comments…I love your wit and sense of humor. You will make it – I promise…just take it one suckish day at a time.
oh yeah – please say nice things about spreading joy on every bathroom wall you enter….:-)
LOL, thanks Marie. :-D It’s Friday so I’m definitely feeling less suckage, and should be even better once I get my girlie chores done.
Oh my! What a deep well of despair I felt when reading that but then I felt happiness wash over me when I thought of you wading through all of the worthless comments I’m gonna leave on your page. :-D
You really need to find another hobby.
At least when I have a hobby I commit to it, instead of dropping in twice a month to whine about how ‘sucky’ my life is. :P
@Happy: You’re an ugly, hateful person.
