Complaining... and what God says about it

So I have this class my first year of my four years of nursing called Introduction to Psychology and has become my least favourite, more like most hated class I have ever taken (other then grade 12 English). I have been complaining about it and so have all my friends, something that I thought of recently though was what Paul wrote to the Philippians, he told them do everything without grumbling (complaining) or arguing (Phil 2:14). So guess who needs an attitude adjustment! I do! It amazes me and frightens me how easily I can fall into sin.

The next vs (15) is kind of interesting too
 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”
The reason that we are not to complain is to be blameless and pure. I think that makes sense. A person does not complain to the other person's face of what they are doing wrong, complaining often turns into gossiping and is gossiping to a certain extent. We are putting down what people have been trying to do. I am putting down McMaster and the professor and my Tutor by constantly complaining about them.
then it goes on so that we are not part of a warped and crooked world.

In all reality this course is
a. 4 months long
b. I have to take in once and never again
c. Although the mark does remain on my record it does not define me of who I am or what I am capable of.

On the other side of things I
a. have to ability to learn about this information
b. discover that i am blessed that there are people who like neuroscience because I can not stand it
c. its almost done (and was almost done from the start)

Its crazy how 4 months seems like forever but in the scheme of things is not all that long, yet time can pass so slowly but so fast. I think what it means when we get trapped in this warped and crooked generation, we fail to realize who God is and where we are. Things do not last forever but we can get trapped and think that they do. We can wrap our thinking into that this is the worst thing ever and can not get through it but when it all reality all we have to do is look to Christ and he can help make us through.

I now officially have a theme verse of Introduction of Psychology
Philippians 1:14-15
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation
