Attitude Adjustment

Okay, so I suppose that sometimes God tries little things to get our attention. Well, yesterday at the high school, I was having a bit of a bad attitude about going to the Academy today. I was really praying for a snow day (no such luck) so I wouldn't have to go. My supervisor handed me a magazine that she gets from her old college which happens to be LDS. She tells me, "I know you're not LDS, but there are some good quotes in here. If you want, you can have a look". So, out of politeness, I decided to look through it. I wasn't looking seriously, but a quote did jump out at me and made me take a second look. Here's the quote: "You either control your attitude or let your attitude control you." Oooooohhhhhh....talk about an Ah-ha moment (that's counselorees for what we hope our clients have when we are counseling them). I have a choice when I'm at the Academy. I can choose to control (change) my attitude or let my attitude control me while I'm there. I'm thinking that it would be in my best interest, and the best interest of those around me, that I allow God to control my attitude so that I can make the best of the situation and get the most out of it. So.....thank you God for using a simple magazine to get my attention. God does moves in mysterious ways and uses unusual circumstances to get our attention. So as I head to the Academy today, my attitude is in check and my determination to succeed is facing forward!
