Be angry and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still. Psalm 4:4
Grocery shopping brings such a spirit of elysium in light of me loving food way too much. My mom always tells me I shop just like my Lula. I miss her! Lula always took her time grocery shopping. I solicit your prayers as I am trying my best to stay away from the devil (sugar). On this particular day, I went to the store to buy some food that I wanted and needed. It was mostly healthy fruits. I entered the grocery store highly motivated and upbeat. They had a huge sale on items I was seeking to buy so I was ecstatic. As I left the store I looked at my receipt and something appeared to be off. I went back into the store by myself (just me) to speak to a manager because I wanted him/her to explain my receipt to me. I pleasantly asked a worker in the store if I could speak to a manager. He went in a back room to get one. Do you know 4 people came over to me all at the same time from a back room door and stood in a semi-circle like they were surrounding me. I was very upset and uncomfortable; perturbed by their mannerism. I firmly said I only need to talk to one person please! Then as the rest dispersed, a young man started talking to me about my concern.
I just knew a letter to corporate was coming out of me. I thought I was never going to shop there again. I surmise maybe they thought I was some angry woman in light of them experiencing some negative behavior from a woman with too much melanin in her skin before. They seemed very nervous when they first approached me and I was by myself. I discerned something had to have happened but it was still no excuse. I am an individual; not the same as; but uniquely different from the next person. You cannot put people in a box! I really don't know what exactly happened and do not like to assume but I felt some kind of way about how they tried to treat me.
One of my favorite things about the good teaching I've inherited in my life, is not allowing myself to stay in an angry state too long. I am way too divine to allow anger to sit close to my heart. You are too! You are encouraged to take an abstemious route to keep your heart healthy as well; preventing clogged arteries and hidden pestilence. If you hold on to things too long it can make you sick. Yes! It’s true! While you are allowing your blood pressure to shoot high to the sky, the other party is not even thinking about you. They are over it! The best thing to do is find something that calms you down. This can be prayer or meditation. If you enjoy music, listen to some of your favorite tunes. It’s okay to be by yourself and have quiet time to reflect on how unimportant it all is. God knows we are going to be upset or angry. Your goal is not to stay there way too long! In life there will be misunderstandings, unfairness and all kinds of ugliness in this world. You solve it by addressing it in a positive manner then move forward with your life.
