A seven-hour drive took eleven hours. I was pleasant for the first couple hours of driving. But then we found out that the shortest route home was closed due to snow. We were rerouted to the only other way that was open. That\u2019s when Mr. Happy became Mr. Unhappy. What started out as a pleasant drive home became more like driving in a war zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone seemed to be unhappy. My tolerance was shot, I was beyond tired and my thoughts about the other drivers became worse by the minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t like myself when I give frustration an open door to changing who God\u2019s called me to be. Therefore, I write this post transparently to hold myself accountable in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accounting-of-god-s-word\"><strong>Accounting of God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is my heart full of most of the time?
