oh, today

So, today was one of those days when God kinda gives me a spiritual slap in the face. These last few weeks I had been really bugged by one the girls I work with, and she's a sweet girl, a christian, but without going into all the details I'll just sum it up by saying: I was frustrated with her. I wanted her to be bold and not settle for being mediocre, after all the junk that's been going on in my life I was so frustrated to hear her choose to be just "OK"! Well, after having a long talk with her (actually it was more her talking to me about her life experiences) I was completely blown away. I knew she had been through some pretty crazy things, but she went into it a little more by saying if life is never hard then we cant really appreciate the good things, if there are never downs when do we have amazing ups? (I paraphrased the last part). I was amazed that she could sit there and tell me this after all that she had been through. She basically ministered to me, and all I could do was sit there dumbfounded. Afterward I thought how I could be such a fool as to think so wrongly about someone else. And then, today we were put into groups for this new event we're having (let me know if you wanna buy a bag! It's a really, really good deal on some products. Great idea for Christmas gifts! Sisters, moms, aunts... :) Yep, I'm totally pushing products in my blog!) and let just say God is going to do some crazy work in my heart concerning my group. It brought me back to Dr. Thoennes' class, he said that he hoped we'd have someone in our group who we couldnt stand so that God would push us in loving those certain people that sometimes just doesn't come naturally! Wow, what a day
