It's so hard being perfect isn't it?

So I'm not perfect.  I have a string of flaws that follow me everywhere I go.  Just when I think I have them whipped and in line I get whipped.  I have a temper.  I don' t like stupid questions.  I just don't understand why people can't think before they ask them and slow drivers & my super slow daughter bug me when provoked.  So all these irritants get my boiler goin.  I could list more but you get my point.  I have to literally stop and pray for God to settle me down because I can't.  So at least I have realized that much.  I just can't handle my temper on my own.  God has to give me peace over a situation so I don't make him look bad and believe me I can.  Other imperfections?  Jason will say it's my procrastination.  I like to take things in stride and be "punctual"  aka 2-5 minutes late.  As women we are taught at a young age that you NEVER want to be first somewhere unless it's a sale.  You always want to make a notable entrance, however Jason never got that memo nor does he care about the memo.  I will say that we all struggle.  Ephesians 4:31 tells us to put away all anger, slander, etc... but how?  James 1:21 tells us to be quick to hear but slow to anger or speak.  Proverbs 29:11 also says:  A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.  I really don't want Him to think  me as a fool so I do try.  However, it does tend to brute it's ugly head around concert time.  & the Punctuality thing..  Well Proverbs 12:27 says "Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth."  So I really like money & shopping.  Maybe gettin my butt in gear will help me in the long run after all..  Jason, just don't use that scripture against me :) love you.
