My Name is Andrew and I Have Become an Angry Person...
Everybody's nerves are on edge, the weather has been terrible and we still do not have an emergency shelter up and running (though we are close).
It's such a frustrating thing, the stupid politics that get in the way in times like these.
What other choice do we have though in these situations but to look to God for the answer. Because it's all too easy to sin, to be re-active and want to fight back and response angrily when you are being attacked, maligned, patronized and criticized. In the quiet, you just gotta pray for a measure of patience and self-control and realize that even we live in this world, we are not of the world. We cannot get caught up in the schemes of the Enemy that would see us tear each apart, rather than build each other up. Love your neighbour and those that would mean you harm and pray for those that do not know Jesus.
Easier said then done, especially in times like these. But it's a necessary thing, because really what choice do we have?

Well, I hitchhiked over from Steve's Blog and am now caught up and listing your blog as one of my bookmarks. I need to work on my blog links (they fell apart!) to get you hooked up there. Congratulations on your new call to help the least, the last, and the lost.
Hang in there Andrew. Don't let people get to you [I know. Easier said than done.]But it's a good thing you're doing and we know that the enemy doesn't want that. We miss you. Trudy
