To let go...crappy or not

I would love to say, "Oh yeah that little stuff- it doesn't bother me, ha I'm so joyful all the time and I always feel great!"

Well that is just not true, and today is an excellent example of how I'd love to have seamless emotions, but in reality I don't.

I'm still in the middle of growing up in Him....

So-today I actually had the nerve to claim that today had been a bad day.
I was cooking dinner when Jason got home and
I was in a real tiffy.
He could tell and I said with a pout,
"I've had a bad day."
And he asked me, "Well what happened?"....

hmmm...What did happened today?

Well...

-I read two looong articles for lab class and then got to class to find out I had read the wrong ones and I couldn't take the quiz. My teacher just said, "Sorry."

-I had a meeting in the late afternoon and my stomach was doing flips before it

-the meeting went really well and I was presented with an excellent opportunity for school

Hmm anything else...hmmm...nope-THAT was it!!!!

What!!!

Are my hormones that out of whack that I could see things so crappy??

Gosh, I am so curious what God thinks when He hears me complaining about what a bad day it's been!?

It's ironic, because at school He actually had enough grace to allow me to literally almost run into this guy, who was in a motorized wheel chair, as I was complaining! What a freakin bratty kid I am! Thank you for waking me up, jeez...

God, I pray that you would forgive me for complaining. That I would be grateful for this day. That I would not see it through my hormones.

That I would let go of my perspective and see Yours...
