Feeling Rebellious; how about you?

I don't know about any one else out there but for the past couple of days I've been feeling very rebellious. It seems as though every fleshly desire a human being could have I've had in the last 5 days and I've had to face them and battle them head on.

These battles range all across the spectrum including wanting to give some poor driver the birdie for cutting me off in traffic and the specific reasons i came up with for not doing so is 1. depravity control and 2. asking myself the question of how is giving one man the birdie further advancing the Kingdom?

As i was driving away from the 'bird man' (as I've so graciously taken on calling this mysterious driver) I began to feel very guilty for my desires of wanting to give him more than just a nice 'hello' as i passed him by. And as i began to get racked with guilt because i so very suddenly realized that i had not 'arrived' this conversation with God came in mind

"You may have wanted to but you didn't and you proved yourself faithful even when you didn't want to be and for that I'm proud of you."

"Yeah, but God that still doesn't change the fact that I wanted to give him the 'bird.' "

"We'll just keep working on that one."

So yeah, isn't it nice to know that God is willing to 'keep working' with us.
