In church we are going through a sermon series on the 'Sermon on the Mount' and in that sermon, Christ gives us standards to strive for once we have given our all to him. This week the focus is on anger (Matthew 5:21-26). And oh man do I need to deal with some anger and I do not mean in the form of punching something!
There are things in my life, more like people in my life that are bringing this anger thing out. The relationships with these people have been in the toliet (for lack of better words) for years but the past couple of months the toliet is starting to overflow. (moving on from the toliet comparison, you get the point)
I am angry at these people, so very angry and I just don't know how to get past it. Christ says to resolve our anger with the other, but I can't sometimes calm down to deal with it in my head much less with that person. I am struggling with this so very much right now, I tried a month or two ago to just leave it behind me but I realize now that I am not over it, am still very angry and am most likely going to have to deal with that person and my anger.
I am trying to look to Christ, I really am, and I need strength and the power from Christ to overcome this roadblock of anger and to do what I need to do to move with life.

Why did I go?
People always told me, " you want to have a college education!" or "you won't go anywhere without a college degree" HAHA! Looks like I'm not going anywhere with one either!
So I was one of those people who went to college, not an expensive one, but not a community college (not saying ANYTHING againt CC's!). I worked while I was in college, applied and got grants. But still I end up with more debt than the average American has sunk in their Cadillacs. And my hubby, well, HA he's got more than a house would cost!
Do the loan companies make it easy to repay these, and work with you, even though I don't have a job that could pay them all back with 3 years of salary? No, they make it insanly difficult. Their customer service representatives are in India, which makes the whole speaking English thing pretty difficult.
Well, now I'm wondering why in the world I went to college in the first place? I'm not using my degree becuase I can't find a teaching job (not that a teaching job salary would pay for my loans anyway) And I could be doing the same thing I'm doing making about the same without a college education.
So I find myself asking why exactly did I go to college?
