Lately I've been finding myself frustrated with many of the people in my life, mostly at work. Specifically, the people who know everything, even when they don't. I'm a pretty happy go lucky person. It takes a lot to ruffle my feathers. Most people at work consider me to be the nice person that would never say a bad word about an employee. Lately, however, I've had a hard time controlling my frustration. The busier we get, the more chaotic the workplace, the more picky the employees, and the more frustrated I become. It's hard for a person with a pride in being right to have so many people walk all over her. It's harder still to realize that these people are more like me than I care to admit.
I have a hunch that my frustration is directly related to lack of sleep and a desperate need to spend more time with my God each morning. I know that my normally easy going temper has a lot to do with how close I am in my relationship with God. It also hurts me to think that the self I see coming out in my frustration against coworkers may be keeping them from seeing Jesus in me.
I think I forget sometimes what a difference God makes in my life. I could definitely use His eyes to see my coworkers and patience too.
