  This is the COOLEST thing. I'm involved in a very stressful, ugly situation at work and God has been convicting me that my responses to that situation are not any different from my co-workers. At first I didn't even want my responses/reactions to be different because I really want to see this particualr person get what they deserve! But as the Holy Spirit has continued to work in me, I've begun praying about how it is that I should respond. Part of the problem is that I don't KNOW what to do/say. Today in my reading I came across this verse that God speaks to Moses - and I really believe He is also speaking to me - "I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do." Exodus 4:15. The timing of the reading of this verse was just amazing!!
