Thank for sharing this. Natalie has set an excellent example in my own life to the power of a wise and committed “yes”. Her’s is a “yes, Lord” heart, which changes worldly time into heavenly time. Making eye contact for a full 2 seconds can say more than 2 hours of fuming at your husband for being late again, or 2 minutes of harping on your kid for being in sloth mode. In a “put/pay/protect yourself first” state of heart, anger is as close as the next 30 second stop light or elderly man paying with a check. You can’t feel injury or insult when ‘your time’ is spent in prayer with the God of the universe.
“The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression.”
