I need grace today

Friday, July 20, 2007


Man, today I feel like I'm going to blow a fuse. I'm not sure how it happens. It sneaks up on me. At my day job, I work in a fast paced environment. Everything is on a schedule, everything is behind schedule, and everybody wants it yesterday.

I had a phone call this morning with a customer who was impatient, rude, and condescending. It set me off, and made me say things about the guy in front my co-workers that I regret. Why did I let him get to me? I hate it when I do that. Better for me to just laugh the miserable dude off and wish him a better day instead of talking bad about him.

I need a deep breath, a diet Coke, and more importantly, Grace. I need grace, and I need to react in grace to others. If, in fact, I call myself a Christian, a "little Christ", I should act more like Him. But I can't do it in my own power.

My prayer today is for His power to work in me, because my strength just isn't enough.

Been there, Scottie... more time than I'd like to admit.

Amen. I used to smirk at those "One Day At A Time" bumper stickers. Not anymore. Honestly if I could do it myself, I wouldn't need God.
