"Thou shalt not get frustrated. Nope, that's not in there." It's one of the quotes that I've got in my room. I have five or six quotes that hang in my room that help keep me grounded and hopefully not too big for my britches.
I was frustrated last night. Well, sort of. It was more of a gosh, it hurts to see that, but then it gives me the opportunity to see how I can be praying for my friends. Turns out I've got high expectations for my friends. I didn't think I did, but last night was one of those "treat people like I'd like to be treated" situations and it didn't happen. I don't expect them to be perfect, Lord knows, I'm far, far from it. But I know that God puts me in situations that if it were my choice I wouldn't be in. Just because it hurts. But however painful it might be, He keeps me calm and whispers in my ear how He wants me to see those situations. Not how my selfish human eyes see things. Sometimes I've got to use my heart when I see things and trust Him when I just don't understand...
O crap! Look at the time! I've gotta go. I've got an interview at 9am this morning...
