Slow to anger

So everyone, almost everyone at least, knows one of my pet peeve is late coming. it is one of those things, that is potentially the easier thing to get me unhappy.

so i had a cell meeting on friday, at 7pm. not before long, i get smses from everyone telling me that they will be late. well, it wouldnt have been so bad if i was still in office, but i was already on my way. but then thing is, i didnt get angry, though it was really a struggle to keep the anger from appearing. because 1) all of them message me early enough to tell me they are late, its just bad luck that i decided to leave my office before that. 2) all of them gave good reasons why they are going to be late.

walking around almost aimlessly in plaza sing, i think i was getting a bit tired of having to keep convincing myself that i shldnt get angry. i spotted jiahui and alicia at spotlight, attempting to hide from me, holding some art and craft material. my oh so brilliant mind, added 1 and 1 together, and realized they werent really late, they just needed time to do some surprise thing for me. right there, the struggle against anger totally disappeared. i mean, how can anyone be angry with people being so sweet towards you? after chasing them off to do their suprise, i just cant help but gave a big smile. partially because of the surprise, but more because im smiling at God, at how He teaches me things and putting me through things, for me to learn.

so the whole point was God teaching me about anger managerment? that's not exactly all. i have been looking for plastic easter eggs for weeks with no luck. but if it wasnt for the lateness, i would never had the time to step into spotlight, which was where i found the eggs i needed!
