I have recently been convicted of my attitude during rough, stressful, tiring times. . . especially when those rough times are a part of school, which is all the time because school is my life for the present. Whenever something goes well (passing an anesthetic proficiency or getting a whole quad done on a class IV!), I praise and thank God. All that's very well, however when situations are not in my favor (I can't find a patient until the very last minute, I'm behind in my amalgam fillings, I only get 2 teeth checked out on a patient, need I continue?) then my mood heads south and am full of self-pity. I get edgy as I allow the high level of stress get to me. I have found that there is a link between my taking my eyes off the Lord and His sovereign plan, and becoming overwhelmed by the various cares and worries that accompany this vigorous DH program. My poor family, I tell ya.
Anyways, my new resolution: Have a positive attitude when it's easy and when it's not. This doesn't mean that I have to love school, because I don't. But I can have a good attitude about it while I'm in the midst of it. I will give glory to God through thick and thin, and know that He is in control of everything.

Good for you Shay! Realizing that you're responding wrong is always the 1st step to correcting it.I'll pray for you. I'll also have Chris read your blog since he is struggling with the same thing. Keep your chin up girl, you have a hope and a future!
Thanks for your prayers. I really appreciate them!
: )
I need to correct my first comment. Chris isn't the one struggling when things don't go "his way". I'm the one that struggles when things don't go the way I think they should for my children! Thank you LORD for your conviction! :)
good reminder Shay . . . I love to see you smiling. :)
Enjoy every portion of your life to the fullest and always believe that the best is yet to come.
