God works in mysterious ways!

I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately.... God and I've been chatting a lot in the last couple of weeks.... mostly in the early mornings when I'm all by myself at work in the cold!!! hahaha!! I've noticed that lately there have been a lot more things that "irritate" me, I seem to have less patience, I've also often wondered about the place that I'm at in my life, is this where I need to be?? and a few weeks ago, after someone stated that I might not be "saved" if something were to happen, I started wondering if there was something I was doing wrong, and YES, I asked.... I put the questions out there while the thoughts were fresh in my mind, in the dark, QUIET mornings..... and what do you know he answered EVERY single one of my questions, in very OBVIOUS ways, of course it took me a little while to figure it out..... Let me share them with you... A while ago I signed up to receive these daily inspiration quotations, I NEVER received them, until recently, it seemed everyday we'd have a talk I'd get a quote, one that made sense to the situation in my life that I was questioning, now remember they only come on the days that I had a "concern"..... I think the first one I got was one that said that "good multiplies when focused upon, negativity multiplies when focused upon, the choice is ours, what do we want more of??? WOW!!! This painted a WHOLE new picture for me!!! he was telling me to stop being negative, whether it was at work, at home or with friends, I needed to go back and concentrate on the "positive" I think this one came at the beginning, during one of those "short" on patience days! Then there was this one, which is COMPLETELY true.... "Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it." followed by a quote I saw in a random newsletter that I had never before read, it said that, "If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow," Now this one is so true, it is our actions that determine how we will feel, we are the only one's that can decide how much "sorrow" we're willling to bring upon ourselves..... I could go on and on..... but i will save us all the time, :) Now all of these quotes kept coming in, and yeah they made sense to me, but I don't think I was "grasping" their message at least not right away..... and maybe that's the reason that I saved them on my email, I did "hear" the message eventually, it came on sunday, and it was the most AMAZING thing I have ever experienced, I was at work, a little annoyed, because friday had been a long day, I was behind on saturday, and it was a holiday weekend..... It seemed EVERYONE and their mom needed help, and to top it all off I kept having to go up to check all weekend, sunday was a little better though, after lunch I was trying to get as much done as I could because I needed to write an order and they called me up for what seemed like the hundredth time, and it happened, right then and there, I put what I was working on down, and started my treck to the front end, while reciting the serenity prayer in my head, now I've known the Serenity prayer for YEARS, but it's never ever come to me like that in a moment of "frustration".... It was the best feeling better, suddenly I felt better, all the frustration was gone and I truly felt like everything was going to be ok...... and that day's quote you ask??? "If you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself." hahaha.... seems I had set myself up to fail on friday!!! hmmmmm...... needless to say I have learned in the last few weeks that God really is looking out for me, and I am doing what he expects me to do!!! :-D
