I went off on both of them, acted childish and said some crazy things. I had to get in my car and drive away before something happened. It's been a little over an hour that this happened and something came over me to pray and ask God for forgiveness on how I acted and how I behaved towards my neighbors. I prayed for peace for all of us. Immediately I felt so much lighter & relieved since I was still shaking from the anger & adrenaline from the argument. The "old" and younger me would want all heck to break loose. I have to live very close to these people who I have just argued with and there is no telling what will happen next. I am praying that God will keep me in peace, protect me and I will continue to also pray for them. I'm glad I came across this site. All of your postings helped me so much. Especially yours Mandy.

I want to scream in those situations but it is always in those times that I feel God saying, pause, look at my face, don't let your reaction be typical... sometimes I blow it but I think I am improving!

How awesome that you heard God's direction and listened. You may not have wanted to pray, but you did it. God will bless that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523429758131664355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356764635792171289.post-9686248803134434402011-04-19T11:08:39.856-05:002011-04-19T11:08:39.856-05:00I adore you Mandy...

It reminded me of every time I pull up next to a car that is bouncing off the road with blaring -inappropriate- music! I h.a.t.e. that... really, I think my mommy horns come out the moment the first vibration hits me. You're doing great by praying... even if your hearts not in it just the mere act of humbling yourself in obedience has earned you blessings from Him. Sometimes we have to act first and the feelings will catch up with us! Can't wait to see what the Lord does next with your neighbor!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591157899056614985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356764635792171289.post-6673378841219314072011-04-19T09:09:55.750-05:002011-04-19T09:09:55.750-05:00It is so hard to pray for those we do not like or ...It is so hard to pray for those we do not like or get along with, for those that bother us. But we must hold them in prayer. God is working in her, whether she knows it or not. You may never see the fruit, but by your prayers and kind actions, you are planting seeds. Thank you for sharing this, we all need to hear it.Jenifer Metzgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347866547000559113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356764635792171289.post-37300974056867761192011-04-19T07:42:31.277-05:002011-04-19T07:42:31.277-05:00It is so hard to pray for someone we don't lik...It is so hard to pray for someone we don't like but we need to remember not everyone likes us and perhaps someone has prayed for us. Our heart seems so much lighter when we pray for someone that needs it, doesn't it? God works through us at and even that is wonderful. Loved your post and your honesty. We all need the honesty you have shown. Blessings and keep praying for her.Deanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818611567172929238noreply@blogger.com
