I've Got DRAMA!

Tonight, I got tested. Did I pass the test? I pray that I did. Whom I was tempted by I cannot say but I can tell you the story as you read along.

Many of us can become so agitated and so overwhelmed at our jobs at times we lose are patience. We all have that aggravating Boss, customers and associates but if you are in ministry or trying to start your own business or trying to learn how to communicate it can help you. On a workplace you have to deal with multiple personalites some when which can change daily. Everyone is not designed the same and we all have mixed emotions and some of us do not know how to handle our emotions, such as myself. God has been working with me for years, I get so aggravated and I tend to want to quit anything and everything on the spot. God will tend to humor you because he knows you so much that he even knows how to work on things with you in a manner that will better you.

Tonight, I was so overwhelmed I felt as though drama was right at my door. Its Christmas season now and being that I work several jobs one of my jobs is not willing to work with my other job’s schedule. My boss was so rude and it just made me so mad, mad to the fact that I didn’t even wish to speak on the subject with her. My other job prints the schedule out two weeks prior and my most recent job was working with the schedules now since is holiday season she feels as thought it will not work. I thought maybe we would talk and hash it out but it didn’t go as planned. I felt as though my boss had a lot of built up anger towards me that she really told it how she felt.  Not being that I am a bad employee I never disrespect anyone she just was upset because of how things have been going but that really didnt give her any leverage to disrespect me. So... Let’s, sum this story up! My boss and I really didn’t see eye to eye, when she was talking to me I felt as though God was trying to get my attention tonight. I could have went off on my boss, and told her everything that I felt she needed to hear but for what? The bible speaks of ignoring ignorance. The best way for me to do that was to just sit and listen to how she felt and try to discuss the problem with her later when things have calmed down. I am so proud of myself because as my friends know I can be a real diva at times and I don’t proud myself (God is still working on me) but I want to continue to change for the better. Tonight was just topping on the cake and I feel a lot better I felt like a bigger person for just listening and not speaking.

Sometimes we tend to act on things much worser than the situation is actually is. In the end we are not only hurting ourselves but we are harming ourselves because remember “God is not easily angered!” He is in fact a just God. He is patient, kind, loving and caring. I believe he would be happier than us just walking away from a situation that just us acting on our flesh and carrying the situation out ourselves.

My sisters and brothers if you are ever in a situation like this, what would you do? What should you do? For just a moment talk to God, try and see what his reply would be. Wait for answers. Don’t be easily angered don’t act on your anger or your desire to get even with someone. Be Godly and handle the situation in a reasonable manner. Remember that you must give respect to earn respect. As children of the lord we must remember that it truly is better to turn the other cheek but don’t turn twice just to get bit again. I hope this story I shared tonight blessed you in some way, I pray that it was a good read and some food for your thoughts.

God bless and lots of love!

I have chosen a favorite bible verse to go along with this post for tonight. I pray you read them and it speak to your heart just as it spoke to mine.   

1. Corinthians 13: 4-8 “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant ⁵ or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.”
