Button Pushers

"Someone in your life that causes you emotional tension because of what they say or do."

Hey Revolutionists,
Today I was at church and this was the message for today, Button Pushers. I am sure all of you at some point or another have had one person push your button to the point where you feel like you are about to explode.

But today the message was pretty clear, God puts these people up to the task of pushing your buttons so that you can fix something that is going on internally. Like always I have always had this happen to me but I never put it together that God was trying to fix something within.

Well I have this one button pusher and he has the habit of getting real comfortable whenever we are together. He thinks its OK to not answer calls, answer when he wants and try to make his life more important than mine. I kept trying to figure out what it was about him that got me worked up so much, why did he push my buttons so much i just felt like screaming.

Well my emotional internal problem for a long time has been trust and patience. I get so worked up when he is doing all these things because I have no trust in him and I get short of patience whenever he takes too long.

What can I do about this then?
LEARN to trust..well since I cant know what he is doing every second of the day I am forced to accept that I have to start trusting again. Since I cant be answered when I want I want, I have to be patient enough to wait for a response.

HOW WILL THIS HELP IN THE LONG RUN?
I learn that patience is a virtue and I learn that the only way to ever have a healthy and happy relationship is to trust again.

WHAT IS YOUR INTERNAL DOWN FALL? HOW CAN YOU OVERCOME THIS?

Take a second and evaluate what is going on with you so that when people push your buttons you will be strong enough to overcome anything they throw at you.

love u guyz!
