Today is not a good day.

There is this woman at church who I have big problems with. Had a sort of run-in with her today and now I'm just boiling inside and leaking it out in everything else. (I feel like I read about this part of me in a book somewhere...) I think that's my main problem. But the fact that I am working full time right now is aggravating the situation.

So you're faced with a choice. You know a situation tends to bring out the worst in you. Do you willingly enter it so that your worst qualities will come to the top so the Lord can deal with them, or do you stay away out of it so that you can stick with the status quo? Are rough edges ever so bad that it's wiser to stay away from situations that bring them to the surface?

I'm so angry right now that I don't want to brush my teeth, I don't want to wash my face, I don't want to talk, I just want to go to sleep and forget it all.

Wow, I just got a really strong flashback to my last year of college, feeling exactly this same way. I think I must've felt this way a lot.

*Sigh*

Once upon a time, I heard a man who is a counselor by profession say that situations in life are the heat that brings out our thorns. And the way you deal with your thorns is by acknowledging that they are thorns, then going to the Cross and repenting of them.
