Have you ever had one of those days where everything finally seems to be going well? You did well on all the tests, you listened during class, you were able to get a good grade on projects, you were able to hang out with your friends, you had an (in my standards) an amazing praise and worship chapel, all around your day seems to be going all in the right directions. Suddenly, your hit by the one thing you did not expect nor do you have the patience to deal with (not that you ever have enough patience with that subject). You try not to lose your patience, but the person blows you off and you think about teaching the person a lesson in a mistake they do not understand because of their complete lack of maturity. You then want to do lots of physical damage to that person for messing with your family as a really smart person once said something like mess with me I'll let it go mess with my family the gloves are coming off. That pretty much sums up my emotion of the day: anger. I tried to be really mature, but luckily the person shut up and left me alone before he said anything else that could make me fall over the edge of my anger limit (because truthfully that would have taken nothing more than a single word, a single look, a single touch, a single silence... you get my drift?). Thats life for ya! O well other than that my day was going perfectly :)
see ya later,

Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit, ya know.... Good job on not losing it. :)
ReplyDeleteAs far as showing people how immature they can be, I have discovered it works much better if we trust God to do that. I know that I make it worse if I try to improve people; just ask Ryan!!!
This was about the time, in your brother's life, that he had to stick up for someone that was being picked on. Remember his consequence???
ReplyDeleteI know that you were extremely angry. The balance would be for you to stick up for those around you without losing your temper. I will certainly back you up.
