Today's Perception - Not So Wordless Wed

I have posted before about Perceptions by Tom Harrison. They are short minute long perceptions that are on the radio in the morning around 7:50. I always search the radio stations to make sure I don't miss each morning's lil insight. Some days they make me cry, think, laugh or say... hmmmm... I should work on that. Today's perception was pretty amazing. If you have the time go to this link and listen to this minute long perception.

The part that really stood out to me was this:

"Conflicts and disagreements are inevitable with in any relationship. Wise people find ways to work around them. At the very heart of the matter is forgiveness. Learning to ask and grant forgiveness is the oil that keeps the engine running well."

This made me think. Am I a forgiving person? Do I deal well with conflict and disagreements? I think I am a very forgiving person. I do know though I certainly do not like conflict or disagreements. I would hope that I live my life to where there was never conflict or disagreements, but that is just me wishing life was just like a fairytale.

I do believe though that every disagreement, agrument, conflict make us stronger and braver and a better person than before. Because from every argument you learn.... either how to forgive... how to change something... how to better something or just how to live better!!! I am not very good at confrontation. If there is a problem I would rather email it or text it. Face to face just scares me! But I am working on that. Ironically though.... face to face confrontation with my husband is easy and I never feel afraid to tell him anything. I guess girl to girl confrontation is different bec us girls take things more personally!! I know I do! I hope I am not rambling to much!

Sometimes I worry that from day to day I am not being the best person that I can be. Whether it is not being a very good christian, wife, friend, sister, daughter, worker....etc. I'm sure you guys are laughing and thinking "WHAT the heck Emily." But I just want to, at the end of my life, have no regrets and know that I did everything I could do be a good person and a good friend. Here are some things I think I need to work on

1. I interrupt sometimes when other ppl are talking.... I really need to wait my time to speak
2. I worry to much
3. I take things way to personal
4. I sometimes get my feelings hurt to easily
5. I don't live in the now and appreciate things the way I should.
6. I take things to personally


"When you give God your best, He will take your least and make it GREAT!!"


I know I can't be perfect. But I can still strive to be the best that I can be.. Right??

Thanks for letting me ramble....sorry if I lost anyone!!!
Happy Not sooo wordless wed:)
