random post.

This post is completely random....but I just needed to express some of my irritations. I can become very easily irritated. It's not one of my attractive qualities because I become irritated and impatient with people very easily. I'm working on it, but it's hard. Old habits die hard. First of all, I can't stand being treated like a child. Especially when it's by someone a good bit younger than me. I have to hold myself from saying something very un-Christlike. Second, I can't stand being told what to do---going along with the first thing. Thirdly, and probably the MOST irritating is when someone twists my words and lies to other people about me. More than being hurtful...it really makes me mad. The anger builds up and I want to scream and punch something (or in this case...someone). It's especially irritating when these lies are being told to make me look like I'm a hateful person. When in fact, I'm not. I don't intentionally act in malicious ways towards others.

I'm trying my best to be the person and woman that God has made me to be, but this life is very difficult and situations come up that test our character. I know I'm not perfect...and will never be. I fail my Savior everyday. I don't always look like Jesus. But I'm trying very hard to have an attitude more like His and be the person described in Titus 2:7-8:

7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.


I know this was a random post, but I want to be honest in my posts. No need to sugar coat. The truth is always better than lies or putting on a show or wearing a mask.
