Part of his message was directed towards married couples and how we constantly keep score... Guilty. "You can't be mad I did that, remember the time 800 years ago that you did ____?!". Here's what I love about my church: I grow and become a better person, closer to the person I want to be, every time I leave. Well this Sunday was no exception. I've learned that I have a tendency to redirect the heat when I am under scrutiny. I think, if we're all being honest with ourselves here, that we all have been guilty a time or two of doing just that.
In the past 6 months I have made a conscience effort to take Brian and I's discussions and disputes and use them for personal growth - when Brian says "you're a grizzly bear in the morning", or some version of that, I will make a solid effort to breathe deep verses biting his head off for looking at me funny when I wake up... Oh yeah, I'm a morning blast-in-a-glass. Who wants to come sleepover? (...crickets...)
Here's to second chances, taking responsibility when we are at fault and whoever invented the term woosah.
