This may seem like a silly prayer request, but then I suppose none really are if its important to someone. :)
Please pray for me as I deal with day to day things. I can see in myself a very bad attitude starting and I am "mouthing off" more and more.
I used to be very bold, outgoing, and mouthy. During my teens, I had an experience that turned me completely around to where I was introverted, more quiet, and somewhat shy and nervous.
Anyways, I know I am over compensating for being a doormat, but I want to find that happy medium where I am not correcting the unnecessary and not picking fights and learning to think before I soap box and mouth off.
Please pray for me as this attitude is not something I want to be part of my personality, and surely don't need my children picking it up.
Thanks!
hugs

Thank you for sharing with me, Sarita.
The gentle reminder is definitly needed. I forget ALOT that God has it all taken care of. Not just the stuff I think like a job, or healthy kids. He's concerned about my attitude too. It does give a whole other perspective when God takes care of it.
Thanks again for posting.
hugs

Jessie, I been there and did that until I finally turned things over to God and really understood that He could handle all things better than I could. The only person that was hurting was me and now, I know that someone might hurt my feelings but God will take care of it! I don't have to keep harboring bad feelings and being non productive while I am so upset...and it feels so good to be able to just say, God, my feelings are hurt and I need your help, please Lord give me the strenght to forgive.... Prayer is very powerful and I spent years trying to do this but I guess I didn't think God could do the job right but with age and life...I know that The Lord is in control of all things.

Lainey,
EXACTLY!! Nobody cares that Im mad but me and its over nothing or sometimes Im just mad because I didnt stand up for myself when I should have.
Kristin,
I know what you mean. I used to be more outgoing and said what was on my mind. Then, I got to where I didn't say anything hardly and just let people run me over. I don't know what gets into me. There are days when I have to say something where its sarcastic, or mean, or just saying something. As soon as I do though, I think I probably shouldn't have said that. But, I know in myself that if I were like I was before that it never even would have bothered me.
I find myself so cranky lately.
Stress is a huge thing around here, but this isn't the first time Ive been in the same situation so that makes me frustrated with myself that I don't handle it better after having this be the third time!
Thanks for sharing!
hugs,
Jessie

Jessie, this happens sometimes with me too. Today for example I was so wound up I couldn't stand myself. I let something that normally I wouldn't even take the time to think twice about almost destroy the whole day. Now thinking about what it was and how I reacted it almost makes me laugh. It really put me in a mood and no one was really hurt by my anger, but me. I wasted time that I could have been doing something constructive. I stressed about it so much I got such a headache and had to lay down for awhile. Oh well, for now I've decided to let it go. I think my being upset really didn't have much to do with what happened today. It probably has more to do with things going on in my life now that is stressing and I'm not talking about or dealing with them. Now these are things I need to be dealing with and I'm sort of avoiding them. I think in my situation I need to 'pick my battles'. Sometimes I need to voice my opinions instead of keeping quiet. That always leads to more stress.
Jessie, you are in my prayers and I hope that everything turns well for you.
Hugs!

Jessie,
I was always quiet and a listener and wished I would say more. Now I find when I do say more I wish I hadn't and want to be more like my old self. This may sound silly but have you had your thyroid levels checked? Ups and downs have been part of my life since I had my thyroid radiated and my levels totally change my personality. Best Wishes,

Jessie- honestly, I took one whole day off from college, dropped of Charlie at daycare and went hiking, I brought 2 gallons of water and fresh fruit in my Jeep and just walked, talked, walked, talked, walked, cried, etc...you get the idea..and worked out a solution for me. It REALLY helped. I came home, took a LOOOOOONG shower and a nap. I didn't want caffeine or fatty food in my system. I also take B-12, which seems to help. I had a LOT of anger, from family issues outside my own little one, and I was taking it out on Scott and Charlie and anyone else in my view. I hope you start feeling better.

Heather---it is REALLY hard! I find myself plotting my vengence and then stopping to think that I am just making myself miserable. It makes me so mad that I get so upset over ridiculous things. I keep thinking to myself is everyone else in the world crazy, but AHA a little light turns on and I think chances are if its everyone else...thens its not them its you...
I feel so sad and I cant figure out what is wrong with me.
Pray that I could sit quietly because when I try to be quiet my head spins and thoughts run around like little ants.
my hubby says that he always worries whenever I stop to take a breather in the middle of an argument...he says it makes him think that i am reloading!

Jessie- I JUST went through this, over the past year. I was nipping and snipping at everyone. I realized only I can change it and it took some hard looking at myself. Sit quietly, open your heart and HEAR what you need to do. Seriously, it works. Take deep breathes and try to do this before speaking...hard...believe ME I KNOW.... : )
(((HUGS))) and good thoughts coming your way.

Jessie, you sound like me! Sometimes I scare myself. I can be downright mean to my husband and kids and even the animals, too. I have to stop myself. So I know how you feel. I will keep you in my thoughts and pray for you, too.
I would so love to have the gentle spirit and soft voice that I know the Lord wants me to have. It's in here somewhere but I can't find it. So maybe we can lift each other up and try to get there.
