The early bird gets the worm...
A few hours ago I wrote an honest blog about how frustrated I was feeling this morning. Long story short, John's mom decided at the last minute (again!) that she could not come and see us. She was supposed to arrive today but decided early this morning it was not going to happen. I was (and am) extremely frustrated and upset about this as it's the second time in as many months plans have been changed at the very very last minute. My last blog showed that frustration very clearly. However, John's father asked that I take my previous blog down as he felt it would hurt John's mother's feelings. I am complying solely on the basis as I think it's what Jesus would do. Left to my own devices and sinful nature, I would leave it up because I'm still so upset about the situation. However, I am, and have taken it down. I'll leave you with this-I'm still super frustrated, angry, irritated and upset about this entire situation.

I am sorry. It is so frustrating when plans get changed at the very last minute, especially if it was something you were looking forward to. Forgiveness is hard, but I am glad you are thinking about "WWJD."
I am not a fan of last-minute-ness either. I guess we live in a land of 'imperfection'. I'm sorry you are so frustrated. I really feel for you....
It appears that their being inconsiderate has become the norm. Goes with your blog about "pet peeves". Maybe that should be added to the list? Oh, what is "sinful" about letting someone know that they have a pattern of hurtful behavior? In this day and age, we are all super busy, whether you like this day and age or not and prefer to live in a cult compond somewhere, and it is very rude to cancel plans at the last minute unless it is a REAL EMERGENCY!!! I think Jesus would want the person to understand that constantly canceling plans at the last minute is not something He would do unless it absolutely could not be avoided or He'd take responsibility for it. Like, "I changed my mind and I don't want to see you" or "Something better came along and I'm going to do that instead". I'm just always your big sister looking out for you. I can't seem to shake it, once you're the oldest, you look out for the younger ones.
