Hands & FeetThis picture was from my Youth Pastor. It's kind of freaky when you first look at the hand, but I like it. I like to keep this picture around so I never forget that I am living for Jesus and to do that I must follow His word. Confession: This is not as easy as you would think it is. The hardest thing for me is when I am driving and people tailgate me or beep at me because I slow down at the yellow light. Especially when I hesitate. When I am at a green light turning left and there are a bunch of cars and the person behind me gets angry and starts beeping. I always wonder if they realize I can see them from my review window and if they know I can read their lips. It is really hard for me in that moment not to get upset with them. I get angry and impatient when people are not patient with me...isn't that ironic? However, I am getting a little better. I try to laugh or smile if this happens because I know that I should not take someone beeping at me or tailgating me personal. I always remind myself that not everybody has this same goal in mind; living for God. What yada yada wants to know is what do you do to cool down? What is something you do that holds you back from grabbing your hair and screaming? Please comment this post and tell me what sets you off and/or what calms you down. God Bless! Have a great day, and Remember, no matter what, be bubbly! :D

What a great post! You are so very wise, Marissa. And I love the picture. Even though it is a little freaky!!
Keeping my cool while driving in New Jersey is often a challenge--when dealing with rude drivers it is all too easy to get into some kind of verbal (or "sign language") kerfuffle...
Keep in mind that the person mouthing off to you may be in a hurry for a good reason--perhaps they are racing to the hospital because someone they love has taken ill. If the rude person doesn't have a good reason for being impatient, then keep in mind that he or she may be mentally unstable, and that flipping them the bird may serve to escalate the situation and put you in danger (I learned that the hard way in Philadelphia--it was really scary when the rude person got out of his car and approached mine...).
I love this pic. I was thinking of putting it on my blog. For some reason I always think of that saying, "Actions speak louder than words" when I see it.
