Well I fell in the water!

Okay so here's what happened. I was minding my own business (ha) doing hair when one of my stylists came to me and said there was an irate mom with her daughter demanding her money back. (full refund mind you). So I go to talk to the daughter who had gotten her hair done and asked what the problem was, her mother begins to attack me. Telling me how dare I put anyone one the floor how does crappy work. NOW let me say this ALL my girls are good at what they do but we are all human and mess up. I found one tiny spot in the whole head and her mom said SEE would you where YOUR hair like that! I apologized and offered to fix the spot for free. Well she said that I must not know how to do hair if I would hire people that did not know how to do hair.
At this point I got a little mad because the woman was being very unreasonable, and I lost my temper completely. I ended up telling the woman she was horrible and walked off to let mom who has the much clearer head than I deal with it. I am ashamed to say!
What happened next was curious for me because the Lord began to speak very soft and then He seemed to get much louder as I listened. This what He shared with me.
Yes, Angela that woman should not have attacked you. (Because I told on her sure did went right to the Lord and told Him all about it!) But did you handle her with love or kindness when things got rough? I argued for a minute before I finally got what He was trying to say. He cared that she attacked me and said things that were not true about my staff. But here's my lesson, how many times have I gone out in Jesus name and messed something up or hurt someones feelings. Did those people blame me? Sometimes I am sure but mostly they say well if that is what Jesus is then why would I want to be apart of that. Because it is human nature to blame the one in charge.
You can bet I will fall under the water again. I will not always be a "water walker" but it does not mean that I will not strive for that in my life. I did not enjoy being six foot under the waves, BUT I am thankful to the Father for always being patient with me while I learn.

Forgive my digression into the past, but this song has been on my hear for a while and this just seemed fitting for this situation!
