Homeward BOUND!! with some wisdom!! ;) enjoy!!

So once again I a writing to you! I feel a bit lonesome being the only poster lately! But us women of God live busy lives, serving the Almighty!!
So much has been gifted to me through God true blessing! I had some rather uncomfortable situations come my way and as human I made mistakes and as God being God and all... ;)
My roommate invited her boyfriend over without asking/telling me, and fooling around in the bed next to me, nothing could have made me more uncomfortable. It literally felt as if the Enemy was sleeping in bed with me! yuck! and so after that this became ritual after 2 more time! and the third was the last time! My spirit was tired of being sinned against! and my roommate asked if there could be a middle ground with this issue... inside i said NO! outside, you can figure out whats middle ground.(snotty thing to say). And so then i "gave in" according to the flesh and said he can come over, BUT you have to let me relax a bit because we have roomed together for 2 years now and this is the FIRST time ANYTHING like this has happened. and if you do invite him over because i will have to sleep over someone else's house and get other people involved. and so for a few weeks i was nit piking my suite mates about cleaning the bathroom and getting upset internally,(hosting anger inside)
not good by the way!
and so after weeks(3) of being what seems like they only responsible person in my suite i was tired of asking for people to be responsible... and then... I got convicted with toilet paper...! God works in wonderful ways!

We had run out of toilet paper and yet again SOMEONE has left an empty roll sitting in the dispenser! X/ drives me insane!!! and i keep an emergency roll in my closet and i was about to use the bathroom and the Lord said are you really not going to put that roll you have in the bathroom?! like he was really disappointed. ugh! great! and then i thought about it, and he was right... i was being spiteful with toilet paper!:/ how stupid! but a real situation!!

next situation, got out of the shower, and brushing my teeth and a suite mates boyfriend walks past me(in a towel) and uses the bathroom. this is a girls only suite and 2 of the mates invite boy over with frequency. :/(not happy about that) and so i got so offended and upset it made me nearly cry! (oh man was i digging a hole for myself) and so like usual i approached my mates when something THEY do bothers me!(stupid!) and it gets better. I called my dad and he said babe its not what you want to hear but they live there too and you know that they invite boys over.so you are going to have to stop trying to fight them all because you cant... and so... me wanting to feel validated that what happened to ME(haha EGO!) was wrong... i go though my day, trying to be a fly on the wall and take a step back(something i do when i am upset) and god met me in the dining hall, by a person i kinda work with said only a few more day and you can see your brother! (BAM! what a hit in the head!) gods goodness and kindness met me there. still fly on the wall. BASIC meeting that night!(Tuesday) and the elder who run the meeting start by talking about Matt5 the sermon on the mount and the thou shall not's and thou shall's and the spirit of anger was the first one right with murder :( oh boy did i get convicted.. basically my elder Lenny said the same things as my dad! :) praise GOD!! what a rema moment!!
and so i have been applying this to everyone i have mentally thought angry or upset to in my head and the people who i wanted to be justified with! i have been so full of peace and grace!He is really an awesome God!
I hope this was complete for you reader! And I hope that though my bumpy experience you my friend can make your own and learn! IN Gods Love! Tara
