listen up yall!

So I didn't have a very good night yesterday..but today I got to skype my best friend and we continued our Bible study in James!  It truly made my mood soooo much better :)  Well yesterday at work a lady ordered the wrong type of ice cream and came up complaining, my boss told her she was sorry but the menu specifically explained the item.  The lady was really rude and my boss just threw the food in the trash right in front of her...bad attitudes on both parts!  But then my boss went and gave the lady her money back and she came and put all of it in our tip jar!  I'm not sure why but I really felt God in that moment.  I thought it was awesome how both of them apologized and were able to agree.  I guess if we were all able to admit that we are wrong and be more humble things would be easier.  While reading James today we talked about the verse James 1:19-20, "19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."  I think I need to work on this in my everyday life.  For instance, I work with two chinese girls who don't know a lot, and it's hard for me to not be rude when we are busy and they don't understand orders.  This is totally unfair because they are from a different country and don't fully understand our culture to begin with.  So I am going to try to be friends with them and help them out when they have questions.  I really want to do the right thing and let them see how a Christian is supposed to act...so they will know that Christ really can change people.
