Ok, As I type this there is something that is getting on my last nerve! I have a co-worker (God love her) that puts on ear phones and then sings or hums the music loudly! I don't know why but it is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Another thing I can't stand is for someone to whistle! I have honestly left stores before because someone was whistling. What is wrong with me! As much as I love music and find joy in it I am surprised that these things bother me as much as they do. I am so sensitive to things these days. It's not just sounds but also smells! Buck and I went to eat the other night and a man came in and sat behind me wearing a strong cologne. That was the end of my meal. From that point on everything tasted like "Old Spice"! I wanted to cry! I'm sure these people were unaware that they were about to cause me to have a hissy fit. That is unless they noticed my hands over my ears or the fact I was plugging my nose!
So now I'm wondering are there things I do that gets on someones last nerve? I'm sure there is because I sometimes get on my own nerves and I love me! I am trying to be more tolerant and look beyond the surface of people and sincerely notice them and listen to them. Maybe God is using these things to make me take notice of people or to get my attention. We are all in such a hurry that sometimes we look over the obvious or take people for granted. Two songs come to mind - God Speaking by Mandisa and Casting Crowns - Does anybody hear her? Both of these address that God speaks to us through many ways and tries to get our attention to be his hands and love on people. Even those that get on our last nerve!
I want to encourage you to be mindful of who God is placing in front of you. Is this someone that would benefit by attending one of the G-Groups? Are you willing to take the time to invite them and encourage them? Make this a matter of daily prayer. You could be the only real Jesus and example of His love that they see! I love you all.
