GRR

Alright, so I am going to talk about 1 verse and 1 verse only in this blog of mine! You wanna know what the verse is? Well I'm not going to tell you yet! lol I am going to tell you a story that leads up to that verse popping out at me! Okay, so you all know I have a brother and sometimes he can push my buttons so hard I just want to explode and push his. lol But he is also a real giant instigator that really gets on my nerves. But every time he pushes my buttons, I start to push his and I always have to have the last word in every conversation we have. That's just me! But today was really bad and quite frankly, it was the last straw! I was done with it and was seriously thinking about going back to the problem I had in the beginning of everything! That is not what I really wanted to do, so I called my friend and he is one smart cookie and will listen to me whenever I need to vent I guess. Well he shared a verse with me and at first I was like oh whatever I will just try to handle it and maybe pray about it but that's about it. Well before platoons tonight, I went a grabbed my Bible and read it. Woo that's a good verse he gave me! And its true! You still wanna know what verse? okay I will tell you! It is Proverbs 15:1. It says: "A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare." Yeah right there is the verse! As I was talking to him on the phone he told me this verse and I kept it in mind when I confronted Kyle about some things that is quite irritating to me and probably to him too. Well ya know what? That verse is actually speaking truth. I went to Kyle with calmness and open-minded and not trying to get more aggravation balled up and it actually resulted better than I thought it would. You see I used to go up to people I'm mad at with hateful words and anger, but I realized that it will just get even worse if I continue that way. So this verse is now like my favorite verse because it is already starting to work in my life and build my character of softness and kind words, if that makes sense! Well at least in my mind it does! so yeah! that's it! (:
