I am so thankful for this blog! Tonight, it is late, and I just needed a place to vent, and pour out a few thoughts. Thanks to this blog, I have somewhere to do it! First of all, what I need to get off my chest is my frustration with dealing with difficult people on the phone, or what I really mean is dealing with unfriendly people using rude behavior as they speak. I needed to make numerous phone calls today, and I am always very aware of my voice, and I try to speak in a friendly, patient manner, but lately it seems like every place I call I get someone that is so completely the opposite of this! I feel my blood pressure going up as the conversation continues. I am having the hardest time as I seem to keep having to deal with this so often. As I tend to want to raise my voice in offense, and anger, and tone, I have decided I am not going to. Instead, with one person today, I replied with a soft answer, as the Bible states, and I actually did hear a change in tone with this person. This is something I need to work on and continue doing! God's ways are so amazing, and when we put them into practice, especially when our ways would have been so different, it is such a testimony to our Lord's wisdom.

I am also contemplating and praying about church. I am not sure what the Lord wants us to do, but there has been an unsettled feeling in my heart about our church for the past year, and I am just not sure what the Lord is saying. DH has wanted to stay, but also is open to changing if that is what the Lord is telling us. We are not the type to jump around from church to church, and like to be grounded in one place, but this last year has been hard. I am seeking God's will in this, and we will continue to pray. 

God Bless!!!
