Choosing to Take the Higher Road

Today proved to be one of those days where everything seemed to go against plans.  I had a delivery scheduled for my new refrigerator and freezer to be delivered today, but they rescheduled me to tomorrow.  After getting off of the phone with the appliance store, I then noticed that I had misplaced my glasses.  When I left to go pick up the boys from school, it started pouring down raining and the boys do not like it when the rain touches them.  What a day!  All I can say is that I'm very proud of myself because I could have easily lost my cool and allowed the situations that I encountered today to get the best of me, but I didn't.  I just took a step back and looked up towards Heaven and just smiled and told God that I was not going to fail this test that He had placed into my life.  Be careful what you pray for becuase it will definitely come to you in a way you had not anticipated.  I've been praying for patience for the longest time and I am finding myself being placed in different situations that require patience and to take the higher road when dealing with the matter at hand.  The old me would have been in a bad mood, would have called the delivery company and gave them a piece of mind, but today, I did not do any of that.  I just had to smile because I knew that God as dealing with and I was focused on not letting this get me down today.  Sure enough, I feel great and I even got a discount because the delivery error was their fault.  Have a great day!
