Dealing with People and Being a Follower of Christ...

as i have mentioned before, cailyn and i just finished up building a house, which as you might guess means dealing with and interacting with a variety of different people. so, yesterday we were supposed to get th las of our work done that needed to be done by an outside source. it was heating and cooling work...

so, i met them at the house and talked through what needed to get done and then headed off to the office to get some stuff done for the day. i fully expected that when i returned home last night, things would be done and in order. well, unfortunately, when i returned home i found that one of the jobs that was supposed to be done appeared to have been "forgotten" and there was also a large gouge missing from the wall in our stairway. needless to say, it was not what i expected to find when i returned home...

so here is my dilemma...i am not good at understanding how to deal with people in situations like this, especially as a Christ follower. i want to be able to love people and to treat them as Christ would above all else, but at the same time i do desire to get the work done that needs to be done. it is just a struggle for me to figure out how to do both at the same time. it is something that i am trying to learn as i grow in my process of being a follower of Christ...
