O So Crabby

One thing that gets me thru the day is my time with Jesus in the morning. But, three days this week I just could not put my whole heart into it. It was me. It was my bad attitude. It was just ugh and frustrating!Well, then, on Thursday I was like, "Ok, no more of this" and I gave Jesus my heart and sat down with Him and we had a such a sweet time together...Then, I went to town with Damary. I could barely talk to people. I had to buy something and it was like it was my only mission in life. When I got back into a yellow-yellow to go home this man next to us was kindly asking us in Dagbani where we are going. I said, without even looking at him, in English, "we are going home". He asked like three times and Damary kindly said in Dagbani that we were going home. I just was so angry. For what???!!! I don't know... then we almost get home and some cute kids come running to us calling our names. I was thankful they didn't call us "white person, white person or siliminga, siliminga" but our names. But then, they try pushing their way into our gate. They would never-evah do that with a Ghanaian. It is very disrespectful. We actually had to push them out of the door. It was awful. One girl had a tire she was playing with and I took it. That made them stop and then cry to have it back. I said you are being very disrespectful. I will take it to your mother. (I know their moms.) They were so angry but we were so angry too! Maybe there could have been a better way to handle that, I don't know. I did go later and give it to the girl's mother. The mother told me her children don't respect anyone. (sigh)We have some guests, one came yesterday and our power went off around 6pm. We had a nice candlelight dinner. Really, I have to say it is not romantic when you are all sweaty and hot. But thankfully, the light came back on. Unfortunately, it went off at 9pm and did not come back until 10.30am the next day!!! I was happy Penny had our battery powered fan. I don't know how she would have slept otherwise because let-me-tell-you I did not sleep! I went outside under a mosquito net and it was bearable but then the chemical in the net made me itchy the rest of the night and today. It was just one of those things I did not need, ya know? But, let me rejoice that our power came back . Our other guest arrived and I am hoping we don't have power out again tonight. (Please, Jesus NOOOOOOOO!!)But one way I got thru the night was I remembered at Christmas Mom and Dad gave me a little gift. It was a little fan you can plug into your phone. I was so excited when I remembered that. BUT THEN...I saw it was for IPhones only and I have an Android. UGHHH SAD!!! BUT THEN...I knew somewhere I had an IPod and guess what???! IT WORKED!!! And I didn't even have to use my phone battery. PRAISE THE LORD. (Talk about and up and down night, eh?) I don't want to sound like a big downer but there are times where I am just not too chippy. I don't want to pretend and make it seem life is flowers when it is not. But thankfully, Jesus is ALWAYS with me, whether I acknowledge His presence or not.Truth, baby. Truth.
