What the Heck

Well, I've always said the best way to deal with peer pressure is to succumb and then it's not really pressure at all any more! So, here I am typing my first blog

Lately I've been working on being gentle. I've recognized for awhile that when I present ideas and opinions that I feel strongly about, I often come across as harsh. I don't feel harsh inside. I just want people to understand my viewpoint and consider it's validity based on God's word. I really do have good intentions most of the time. My spirit is willing to present the truth with all gentleness, but my flesh is so weak. I will often start out gentle, and then as the discussion progresses my impatience will also progress until I find myself at a point I didn't want to be.

So to all those people who have been negatively affected by this flaw of mine, I'm sorry. I pray you can evaluate the thoughts I present base on their own merit and not on my often poor presentation.

If any of you have dealt or are dealing with a similar issue, I would love to hear how you overcame it. Also, any encouraging/chastising scripture would be welcome!
