Day 5: Beef Ravioli and Humble Pie

I have a very interesting story today. This is a true account of what happened May 27, 2009. The day started out bad, I don't know why. I was irritable so everyone else was too. My husband and I had fought all week, I was tired, exhausted, just ready to give up on everything. That morning I was writing out our budget for June. I got so excited because after we paid our tithes and bills we would have money left over. I had been trying to work our budget so we could pay off old medical bills and things on our credit. Well, the amount of our tithes is what started the argument. Long story short, the argument ended with a bowl of ravioli all over the kitchen, Michael had a bruised shin and I had a cut finger.
After the argument I realized that my attitude from the time I had gotten up until well after the argument had been WRONG. Maybe not like a sin wrong but like intimidating. I realized that just because I thought I had faith like an oak tree didn't mean that everyone around was going to understand and go along with my leaps. I had to realize that I needed to be very patient and understanding to those that didn't "get it." That's what started the argument, not words but my arrogant aura I was putting off. This last week I have been learning to control my anger (my weakspot). I have also learned that attitude goes alot further than words. I don't have any scripture today but I'm sure you can look up the word humility on any Bible website and find them.
I decided to write about this today because you can think all day long that you've got it together. I can promise that we will never have it all together, if we did why would we need Our Redeemer and Our Savior. I hope this little story encourages you. I want it to be a learning lesson that no one has it together. I don't care if you are a preacher or pastor of 5,000 people you will never have it all together. I am still learning something everyday, I pray that it continues until Jesus calls me Home.
I hope you enjoyed the adventure today.
