Frustration

Left Atlanta last night to fly to Argentina. Flying on planes is interesting when you are 6'2 and about 265....unless you are in first class. There are a few good seats with some leg room but the 5'5 people always end up in those seats...Lord knows they need the leg room. Just once I would like to be on the emergency exit behind the seats that do not recline...why? Because its guaranteed leg room that can't be infringed upon. It seems that everytime I get on a plane I get behind the person that immediately reclines their seat and leaves it that way the whole flight. Even when they are not laying back in the seat. It's rather frustrating. You already have limited space and then someone infringes on it. Frustrating. I made it through though...but this frustration has caused a determination inside of me. My goal is to find a better seat on the way home. I am going to do my best to get a better seat...particularly the one with the most leg room and where the seats don't recline.

Frustration in life always occurs. You can become frustrated with your work, your family, or your relationship with Jesus. You can also become frustrated with church. What you do with that frustration will make all the difference. Will you let it move you to be proactive in doing something about what has caused it? Or, will you let it build up and destroy you on the inside and cause all kinds of negativity and bitterness?

Frustration has caused movements, sparked revolutions, and even changed the world...sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Let frustration move you...a little frustration brought underneath the submission of the Spirit of God could revolutionize your life...and quite possibly...the world!
