Hi there,
 Today on the radio I heard a saying, about coordination.

And it went like this, ''I'm about as uncoordinated as a string puppet in a  fully jetted spa pool.''

And that got me going, on a series of thoughts.
Because, in life we can think we have it so hard, in the way that, the bills have to be paid, ( I know this, because I have yet to pay the vet for the blood test they gave our lovely Tiggi 3 days before he died, and then one fine for driving, my car unlicensed for 6 months , then I drive home on a totally flat tire with out realising, then I get a notice in the library saying that I have to pay the DCC again for $60 worth of library fines.) in the mail this morning.

So added all up it's going to cost me around $500 all up, All because I was slack and tardy with my car, and library fines and secondly, was it time for our cat to die?

I got into the  "Why Me'' stage, of thinking, and it didn't take long.

But looking back, on the day, with the things I have to pay, it's so so bad, it all can be done.

Then God told me I had a prideful spirit, so I apologized to God, and asked for the right mind to go about this.

Instead of keeping this way of thinking it got me about the motto, and sometimes our lives are uncoordinated, sometimes we are the puppet on the string, and sometimes the string is connected to things we can't change.

Is there more to life than to find out what's next to pay in the mail?

Was it an act of God's Grace that I didn't have a crash in my car going down the hill from work today?
When my Dad sends me off to work he always says to me, ''work under and open heaven.'' and I did today, not only did God give me the safety in my car, that I didn't crash, it got me up the hill to our home on a completly flat tire.

Is he by doing this showing me up?
Am I complaining about the things I need to do, or haven't done?
Have I lost the salt in my life to be effective?

It doesn't take long to get into the poor me stage, and that is one thing in life I don't want to get.

Bitterness doesn't only effect you, personally, but it effects others,  see when you use salt you use it as a seasoning, or cure, but if you become bitter you loose your saltyness, your not that useful to others.

Jesus, warned us, in the bible that we should avoid bitterness because it does eat away at us.
He also said about anger, as well.
So my friend if you're facing the day with huge trails or the mentality of ''I wonder what the next bit of bad news is.'' look up, and see God, and know him, because when you talk to him, he will show you the way out of it.
Bitterness, anger and discontentment isn't really going to help you in the long run, it's going to way you down.
If you need to see someone, go and talk to them, get it out in the open, talk face to face and share and communicate, because we are really good at hiding behind the mask we always wear.
And all might seem ok, but we might feel like that puppet on the string, dingling and dangling around letting others make the choices we ourselves could be making, a step forward in the right direction.
