Thank God for wise counsel- especially His. Today has already been a rough day, and it's only 10:30 am! I've been presented with one "challenge" after another, and will admit that I've not handled this day very gracefully thus far.
I sent an email to my best friend this morning detailing all of my gripes and complaints, and instead of commiserating with me (what I was looking for) she offered wise counsel. What a blessing that someone has perspective, wisdom, and courage to be plain-spoken. And thank goodness the Lord put these people in directly in my path on days like today! I then turned to my daily devotional and was given further reassurance through the Word, which reminded me that my prayer should be to walk so closely with Jesus that other people see him reflected in me. Basically walk the walk, don't just talk the talk.
So here's the lesson learned, friends:
- When you find yourself frustrated, crabby, and generally poisonous to be around, don't just spread your discontent- do something to change your situation.
- Sometimes you just need to take a step back. Perspective is everything. (See picture.)
- And when you feel like you can't change what's going on and your perspective still stuck in "poor me" gear, go to God. He's got it under control, you don't need to worry about it any longer. You're blessed, be thankful.
You know, I think it might just be a good day after all. m
