Seafood–The best!

Okay, so I love seafood.  I was just sitting down to enjoy a nice fresh tuna salad-then it dawned on me-I am telling on Jim! 

You see, Jim and I have been together for 10 years, we enjoy a lot of things together and we are one in Christ-OOOPS-except in one area-SEAFOOD.

HE ABSOLUTELY HATES SEAFOOD(if you don’t like seafood-no need for your comments, I’m on a mission to change Jim’s taste-buds!) We are from Seattle for Pete’s sake!  I don’t know why I am so passionate about him wanting to enjoy a nice Alaskan King Crab from the Beiring Sea but it sound so romantic to me to sit at a candlelight dinner, crab legs just cracking away! (Okay so that’s a little much-but I know God has a deep desire to change his heart where this is concerned-he changed Saul to Paul, didn’t he?)

Anyway, I have a feeling my mission on the transformation is fruitless.  He does grill a mean steak though! Sorry honey, the secrets out!

Actions more important than the issue itself!

I had a previous post that talked about how we should act when we are in a diffulcult situation.  Maybe a disagreement, someone has done you wrong or whatever the situation may be, out actions are critical!

Can you say-DUMB MOVE CHRISTINE.  Okay, so I had a bad night.  Things this year have been difficult, losing my grandpa and stressing about seeing grandma as much as possible, getting a 50 cent an hour paycut because I switched departments(they never told me about this), and just the run of the mill stresses. 

I can’t stand it when people make excuses for their actions. What I do know is that I acted like an idiot, asked for forgiveness and thankfully the person was very gracious.

What was learned here? I cannot use the excuse of stress and sadness to justify how I respond to someone.  It hurts my heart that I was upset about something so stupid and made someone else upset.  Usually, things roll and I have grace. I have to trust that God is in control of the unknown and that the plan is being followed.  I pray that I can find peace in the loss of grandpa and peace that I am not able to see grandma all the time. 

So, this makes me feel better-I know everyone has had one of these days.  I know that everyone can relate!  Thank you God for giving me the ability to share this with others.

Please share one of your stories-I need a laugh!  Thanks
