my sis just reminded me that every new day that god gives me is a gift from him to show the life of christ that's in me...that the challenges that i'll face in a day are an opportunity to display that life and allow god to move.
it's a good reminder because right now...i'm very frustrated.
i'm the kind of person that can rise to a challenge. i work pretty well in stressful situations...can be very strategic and calculating. right now, however, i feel a little angry at one of those situations...where i'm having to rise to a situation because of others' lack of follow-through, general incompetency, inconsistency, etc.
makes me feel used.
i can't figure out how much to jump in and "do" what should be other people's "do"...especially when doing that in the past hasn't actually inspired any change in the sense of responsibility. so, it's hard to know how much to compensate when you know that you'll be in the same position again in a short time.
so, i'm frustrated.
i'm not sure how to show the life of christ in this...initially, i felt i was by taking on the challenge for the interim...but today, the sense of "rights" is clouding my perspective. i consider how much jesus would have expected some accountability vs. how much he would have allowed himself to be used. it's a tough one. and to be honest...my jury is still out.
so...i guess i'll keep plugging and chugging...praying and trying to keep a positive "praise" outlook. but hopefully, i'll get some wisdom soon...
