Im back with the hinkleys, the people i lived with for about 7-8 months after i left my parents house, for spring break. Its been over a year since ive been baptized. In reflection, when i moved in with the hinkleys i still had a lot of maturing to do. They helped to move me in the right direction and to grow. I am very thankful this. At this point i am able to look back and see how far i have come.
Three weeks ago, i was in a foul mood. Not for any particular reason, i was just pissed off. It went counter to anything going on in my life. It was an excellent week with lots of good things. And at three points somebody went to far with something. All three times i wanted to say something. What i would have said would not have been nice. Then this little part of my brain kicks in and says "is it really what you want to do?"
In the past i would have said what was on my mind, and hurt somebodys feelings. Here i was able to exert self control. I left all three situations before i said anything. I went and spent time in prayer. That i wouldn't have the foul mood, and that i would have self control over my words. Because on all three situations if i had said it, i would have quite a few people mad at me.
God is good.
