It could be worse!

Today I had an event happen in my life that made me take a step back. I had an issue with money where something had been paid and it got disconnected and then I wasnt able to resolve it because the office was closed. Wow, talk about frustration, seriously! Of course your first reaction is to scream and allow it to get to you. It's okay to do this in a place where you are not going to have someone react back (which is what happened to me!) Then the important thing here is that you take a step back, you regroup yourself, pick yourself up and think, "it could be much worse!" I could be starving somewhere not knowing where my next meal is coming from,  but I'm not. My problem is not as big of a deal as it appears.
The important thing here is, when I take a step back and think about the good in my life, I think, "wow this isn't so bad!" This helps me to regroup myself and get over something that really shouldnt have been a big deal in the first place. God has blessed me and has put me in a country that is truly blessed despite our problems. I was born for such a time as this. I have a purpose. Thinking about all of this gets me away from that little thing that frustrated me in the first place! Sure my problem is going to take some disipline in my life to help sort it out, but in the end, it will be okay no matter what!
