I am in the process of trying to have a better attitude about things. I don't want to be angry or complain about everything that puts me out the slightest bit. I want to roll with the punches and look at situations that normally I would feel put out in as an opportunity to be a servant, knowing that they are happening that way for a reason. Mostly, I am talking about things that happen at work. It is so easy to complain and be angry there, when practically everybody else is, but I don't want to be like that. I am supposed to be different. Being all frustrated and angry makes work so unpleasant and makes it hard to be there. I think it I could have a better attitude, I would enjoy work much more. I need to remember that God won't give me more than I can handle and he is beside me, helping me through my struggles. I also need to remember that he is there beside me through the good times as well and praise him for that. This week and remembering what happened this time last year has helped put things in perspective. My little struggles and problems are so minuscule in comparison. I need to remember what's important and what really matters to me and not get so caught up in stupid little stuff. God is in control.
