Attitudes..

Mine stunk today. I decided last week to ask God for his help with my attitude at work, and I was actually calm and patient at work last week. This week, I was in my mood yesterday, and did not ask God for anything but to help my mood go away. Praise God, the mood went away, for the most part. However, work was close to miserable today. There was so much drama and crap going on, that I could have pulled my hair out. Then we had a new kid start, and she is a really good little girl, but she got scared when Max started crying really hard. And then they all started crying. It was horrible, and I know it wasn't them being horrible, but my attitude being horrible. So, if you could pray for me this week that I will keep praying for help in this area. It really helps when I pray for God's help with my attitude. As many people know, I can get mad very quickly. Our business manager at work once told me that she had never seen daggers fly out of someone's eyes so quickly, and that is not something I am proud of. I have a hard time hiding my anger if it comes on quickly. That is something I am working on. I found a verse that I have kept handy because I really like it and it helps keep me in check when it comes to my attitudes. It is found in Ephesians 4:31-32. It reads, "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just ass in Christ God forgave you." (NIV) That verse has helped remind me that I need to watch myself. It is just a verse that I have come to cherish in my life. :)

BTW- My mood from yesterday is mostly gone. I am still a little down, but thank God it passed. Thanks to everyone who gave me encouragement. I love you guys too. :)
