So me and the wifey got into a big argument yesterday. To be honest, I haven't felt this heated for a while. I was quite upset... and guess what over? Baby shower. BABY SHOWER! of all things. Basically, she wants me to be there this Saturday with her and all the girl cousins, and I told her that as a man, I'm really not supposed to be there at the baby shower. Ladies, look at your man. back at me. back at your man. now back at me. DO I LOOK LIKE I BELONG IN A BABY SHOWER FULL OF LADIES? maybe. But I have stuff to do on Saturday.
Anyway... it was really difficult for me to bite my tongue. I was angry. I really wanted to say some things that I know would've stung. I wanted to jab her with some things that I know she's sensitive too. I wanted to attack her character...
I kept reciting Eph. 4:26 in my head:
"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."
I was angry, but I knew that my words could kill. So I fought to keep my tongue down. But the part that especially kept poking at me was the second part about not letting the sun go down on my anger. I knew what the Lord was saying. And I just could not do it. It was so hard to swallow this huge lump of pride and reconcile.
That's why me and Monica make such a fantastic couple. We complement each other quite beautifully. I did the first part of the verse, she came through on the second. :) She was the first to man up and was the first to apologize and initiated reconciliation with me.
This obedience stuff is quite hard. Help me, Lord Jesus!
"Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."- Jesus (Luke 11:28)
