 <\/p>\n

If you had told me a few years ago that I had a problem with anger, I probably would have laughed and said \u201cyeah right\u201d!\u00a0 But I have realized over the past couple of years that I DO indeed have a problem with anger.\u00a0 You might be asking yourself how this is possible.\u00a0 I have a loving, amazing husband, a wonderful son and I am doing what the Lord has called me to do WHERE He has called me to do it (as I understand and hear Him right now in my life).\u00a0 You would be right, I am truly blessed and I would be the first one to admit that.\u00a0 However, I think being human and our sinful nature doesn\u2019t have anything to do with what our life looks like.\u00a0 God blesses us even when we don\u2019t deserve it, that\u2019s what GRACE is all about-but that is for a different post entirely.\u00a0 I am human and just like everyone else I struggle with sin on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

For those of you who know me, you know I am a fairly open person.\u00a0 I wear my emotions on my sleeve (anger, happiness, joy, pain).\u00a0 When I started talking with Joel about how to deal with my temper especially, we talked about different things to do.\u00a0 One of my suggestions was to blog about it.\u00a0 However, it\u2019s a different sort of blog.\u00a0 It is personal and that is not always easy.\u00a0 However, I really think this is something I am supposed to do.\u00a0 Not sure why and I am sure it will not be an easy thing to do at times, but I want to be vulnerable and I want to change, that is the bottom line.<\/p>\n

SO, the 1st<\/sup> blog is about WHY I am doing this.\u00a0 I realized like I said that I had a problem with my anger a few years ago, but for the last year, it has been very noticeable.\u00a0 I realized that I did not want Simeon growing up with a mom that has a bad temper and I especially didn\u2019t want him growing up learning that behavior.\u00a0 There are so many other things I want to give him, but I don\u2019t want to give him the legacy of anger.<\/p>\n

I look at my husband and feel he is such an example to me of someone who is constantly trying to be like Christ.\u00a0 I realize that is what I want to be like.\u00a0 Now, honestly, this is not easy.\u00a0 It is not easy to realize that you are lacking in certain areas of your life.\u00a0 In fact, there are times that I have been jealous of Joel because he is patient, kind and very tender-hearted and understanding to the needs of others.\u00a0 I am not like that in most situations.\u00a0 I am very blessed to have a husband that I can learn from.\u00a0 Now, he would be the 1st<\/sup> to say he is not perfect, but in this area, like I said, I am glad I am able to learn from him.\u00a0 He suggested reading through Philippians and Ephesians.\u00a0 I really appreciate the above verse from Ephesians.\u00a0 I like that it describes the \u2018bad\u2019 characteristics and then the \u2018good\u2019 characteristics and then talks about how God forgave us and that is what we should do for others.\u00a0 Basically we should have the attitude of Christ.\u00a0 I am far away from that, but I am striving for it.<\/p>\n

I ask that if you read this blog regularly, that as you do, you would pray for me.\u00a0 It is not an easy endeavor to change an engrained part of who you are.\u00a0 Pray for change, for a likeness to Christ and an attitude of tenderness.<\/p>\n
