Good Evening!
The topic for this post is learning how to control yourself. Even though I am a Christian I do have a temper and if I hold in something for too long I do explode. For me it's hard to control myself when I know for a fact that the other person is wrong but she insists that she is right and I dislike how someone women ask for input but doesn't take anybody's ideas into consideration. To me a women who is like that doesn't deserve to be a leader. What do you ladies/guys say? When we tried to make a women's group at our church it failed, and it failed because the person, who took it upon herself to create it, was starting off big instead of little. By the way our church is very, very small. Even though I knew that her idea's were not going to work and that she should have had a meeting with the women to ask them question's like what days they are free and from there pick a date for the women to meet either once a week, every other week, or once a month. Since I already know how she was and I knew that if I would have told her something she would have gotten upset and not like my idea, so I waited a year for her to come to her own senses to come up with an idea on her own. Now should I have done that, maybe not, but I already knew what type of woman she was and I wasn't going to argue with her. Since I am the women's assistant leader I have learned to work with her, the leader, and slowly give her idea's on what to do at out meetings and themes for me. So far so good, but we will see how it is towards the end of this year. I've learned to control myself by praying a lot for help, strength, and patients and so far it's working. I have also learn how to control myself by speaking to my fiancé and asking him for advice, since he once was the men's group leader.
Have a nice day!
