so today i got angry...not in the cool, futurist way that all the emergent church guys talk about, but really, truly, angry.
the people working on closing my house completely blew it today. seriously. we have had to push the closing a total of 2 weeks so far for one thing or another. now the seller is not happy, and i am realizing just how out of control of things i really am.
so today i took it out on the mortgage guy. not that he didn't deserve it, but he didn't deserve it from me.
i am being a little dramatic here. me getting angry with him meant that i told him that i was disappointed in how he was handling my deal, and that i was not happy. (really scary i know)
this got me thinking..when is it appropriate to get angry enough to say that you "lost your temper?" i understand what it means to have righteous indignation, but to lose your temper???
from what i understand in scripture, we are not to be slave to anything...especially our emotions. paul talks about buffeting his body, making it his slave. i assume this meant his emotions as well.
just something to think about.
all of that to say. no real damage done today. we'll close next week. we have a place to have a roof over our heads, and a place to keep warm.
amazing how understanding your blessings can effect your view of what is right and wrong in your life huh?
