Sometimes....

First of all, HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING! 

I'm trying to figure out where to start!  This just hasn't been my day!!!  I've been praying off and on all day that my attitude would change, but apparantely this is just not my day.  Maybe the fact that I get to sleep in tomorrow morning will get me in a better mood.  But, until then...here I go.

I've been allowing a silly little family situation eat at me all day.  As I type all this, I'm munching away at a cookie Steffan made me earlier this afternoon.  My husband and I are preparing for a belated Thanksgiving dinner we're having on Saturday.  I've been stressing over the usual food worries (will there be enough, what will everyone be bringing, will the turkey cooperate?) along with things Satan keeps throwing in my face about things that have been said.  I know it's Satan coming after me, doing whatever it takes to make me miserable.  UNFORTUNATELY, I'm letting him win. 

I've been trying to work on my crankiness or (Okay, let's be honest!)  all out anger!  I've been frustrated with the kids for not understanding that sometimes they just need to back off.  I've been frustrated with myself for "barking" at them.  I'm angry with myself for not handling things in a mature Christian way. 

I'm also very frustrated that I managed to lose a group of verses on anger that my best friend was so kind as to give me because we both want to work on being slow to anger....Ain't it crazy how Satan can ruin things so easily????

I am being reminded that sometimes things just aren't going to go right and I need to keep my heavenly father beside me at ALL TIMES!  Without him I am nothing.
