I Don't Get No Respect

As I'm moving forward, I find myself stuck in a quagmire of anger and hurt; this is a dangerous mix, especially when I'm trying this year to capture my thoughts and keep my tongue under control.  I can only say that over the past couple of days, my tongue has won the battle.  I'm not giving up, I know I've been forgiven, and I know that I'm making progress.

I wish, no, I want respect; I want the Elders at my church and the members of the congregation where I serve to respect me.  I want my children to respect me.  There are a lot of "I's" in this post and as I've been told before, it's not about me.

I'm calling this blog "A greatful journey."  Maybe I need to remember what I'm thankful for - 
  • a home with a mortgage payment that I can afford.
  • a job.
  • a two year old car, which is paid for.
  • money in savings.
  • two children who love me.
  • my dogs who love me unconditionally.
  • a Savior that loves me and forgives me
  • enough food to eat.
  • a warm house to sleep in.
  • warm clothes to wear.
  • cable TV & internet
  • friends and family who love me.
