Conflict....Resolution

Oh my goodness. Can I just tell you how stressed out I have been for the last few weeks? I had this "conflict" with a friend and I was so stressed out about it. I am not good and confronation and so it never even crossed my mind to talk with that person about what was going on. Instead, I just built up frustrations as time went on and did stupid stuff like try to handle it through email (very very very bad idea...FYI). Luckily, I have a husband who is smarter than me and suggested that we talk about what was going on. Oh my gosh. There was nothing going on. I mean yea there was stuff, but it was all stuff that we just needed to talk about. We were all missunderstanding eachother and all we needed to do in the first place was talk it out. I have never felt a weight lifted off my sholders like this one! Its awesome and I am now a big proponent of talking it out. I think that Satan tries to trick us into thinking that stuff is actually a bigger deal than it is and he tries to trick us into thinking that this person is against us when at the same time that person is thinking that you are against them. Not the case at all. Satan is a butt head and Im really glad that he didnt win last night. I highly suggest to anyone who reads this (the three of you) to talk it out with someone if you are having problems, because I will guess that its not as big of a deal as you think it is and then you will no longer need to have panic attacks....yea thats right....a panic attack while driving.

Always helps (and big time humbles) me too to remember that the particular person I might be displeased with is a child of God just like me... God loves them as much as He loves me and He is not pleased when I an ungracious in spirit toward others of His children. Easier said than done sometimes, huh?
