Do you struggle with complaining? If you asked me a couple months ago, I would have said no, but recently our church did a study on the book of Numbers, and the Israelites are always complaining in this book of the Bible. Our Pastor has done two messages on complaining (link are below), and I now realize that I have a complaining problem. So instead of recommending a book like I usually do, today, I am going to recommend a book of the Bible: Numbers.

I am also going to encourage you to join me in a Contentment Challenge to combat the complaining. You cannot complain and be grateful at the same time! It is awesome how God led me to Melissa Spoelstra's Contentment Project through another author, Barb Roose's Loaves and Fishes email series. I share all about this on the podcast episode this week!

So, I want to invite you to listen, grab a bracelet and join me in practicing contentment and gratitude instead of complaining and grumbling.
