It is 5:15 AM and I am anticipating a good workout from my boot camp trainer. He helped me attain a good experience in my training, lessened pain in my joints and frankly gave me confidence as well as a class I looked forward to twice a week. Then I walk in and another trainer has taken over the class. She is nice, creative and kind but her moves are fast and we have trouble keeping up. I wonder what suddenly happen to my current trainer and I start to develop an attitude. Then I stop and think about it. It is tough to be the sub and it is also hard to not always have the experience that others have done for many years. So I decide to think of the times I was the one that was new and I lose my attitude.
Also I was recently accused of something I did not do. I felt for about a month that I was constantly being watched, not trusted and being on trial. Then I find out that one of my enemies is getting demoted at his job. Initially I feel vindicated but then I realize I have been in his situation of getting a demotion and I start from being mad to feeling sorry for him.
I can't control how others make me feel but I can control how I respond to it and what I will do about wrong doing.
I will go back on Tuesday to the new trainer. Hopefully things will get better. I will miss the old one but I will be patient if I am supposed to find out the reason why for his sudden departure.
The other situation. I will not that person get me down. I will stay out of their hair and just pray for them every time I see them. My contact now due to their job change will quickly fade.
I choose instead to look at my skills I have acquired because of destructive people and situations. I trust God that He will vindicate me instead of hurting me.
Exodus 31:3 New International Version (NIV)
3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—
