Today was a little better than yesterday, but not a whole lot. I had a wedding to go cook at, and I really wasn't happy. The bride had sent out this incredibly detailed breakdown of the day (like, 5 minute increments) and this just ticked me off like none other. I didn't want to go. I was annoyed that my friend was getting married, and I wouldn't even get to see any of the wedding, because I'd be in the kitchen the whole time. I was annoyed that pretty much everyone else in the kitchen got to leave to go see the ceremony, but I had to stay. There was more of the wallowing thing going on today.
Thats the bad news. The good news is that I was feeling pretty convicted after my behavior yesterday, so I was able to be a little more deliberate about turning to God. In the end, I was able to see the wedding as an act of service that meant a lot to my friend, and be at least nominally contented with that.
By the end of the day, I was actually in a pretty good mood. I was even able to deal with burning hot chicken juice getting poured all down the front of my shirt, and getting a lovely burn all over my stomach without killing anyone! When we are faithful, God gives us what we need.
I just need to work on that faithfulness part some more.
