...

I can't even title this one today. On my way to work I was on the phone with a friend of mine who was telling me about some sill high school girl drama that involved Kristina. In the midst of the conversation I popped off at the mouth saying that I hoped Kristina just gave this other girl what for and we would deal with whatever consequences that came our way.

.

As I walked in my office building I was seething with every single step. Chewing out of the side of my mouth and huffing like a bull the entire way. I just don't understand why kids have to be so mean? I can't wait until she graduates! Blah blah blah...all these thoughts were racing through my head.

.

Then it happened. I came into the office, sat down at my desk and opened my "scripture tree" to get my daily word. I still had steam billowing out of my ears when I read John 14:21 "Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.” (NLT).

.

Wow! Instead of popping off saying that I hoped Kristina handled this girl and showed her some force I should have said that I hope that Kristina turns the other cheek, that she shows this girl what a true witness she is...I should have said alot of things! I pray that my sweet, precious daughter handles herself today with the dignity and grace that I know she possesses.

Isn't God good? He always has a way of giving me my spanking right when I need it. He don't let me simmer on it for a few hours and then get me. Give it to me now!! Praise the Lord!
