Today when I was getting ready for the area mtg. I was resentful at Christie and was kinda short with her. I was resentul that she went in the morning to look at a van and I had to rush to get ready for the meeting. I had plenty of time to prepare before.

At the area meeting I found myself getting apprehensive and a little nervous to speak. I had to pray for serenity and it worked. The meeting was good and it felt good to be of service. I also noticed that it's been a while now since we had any of those argumentative or confrontational meetings. Some people have changed and some people aren't around anymore. Whatever the case is we are working together better now and it is beginning to be something that people might feel attracted to do.

Tonight Christie went to look at another van and I again was a little resentful that I didn't get to go to a meeting. I was also resentful that the house wasn't cleaned up to my liking. I thought about the reading from Daily Reflections today - "we asked His protection and care with complete abandon. ".

The author spoke of complete abandon in terms of complete surrender. I quit fighting and cleaned up the house and tried to stopped getting angry with the kids.

I felt peace and serenity and was able to work together with Christie.

In the next few weeks things are going to be tight and I might not get to go to meetings as much as I might like. I must be wiling to go wherever God needs me and let him grant me acceptance.

- another "best day ever".
