Frustrations

I've been frustrated a lot lately and so I thought I would write them out just so I can see what all is bugging me.
1. I'm clumsy...I keep hurting myself and I'm not sure why! Yesterday I whacked my foot two times on the same piece of wood sticking out from my bed at the hotel. So my left ankle and the top of my left foot are in pain. Also because of my clumsiness my knee is always bugging me. I sprained it last year and it never healed properly.
2. Rowdy children. Today was a rough day at rehearsal, we ended up having to pull two kids out of the play because they wouldn't listen and they were disrupting everyone else. I hated having to do it but we couldn't put up with it anymore. I'm worried about tomorrow, if they show up we have to send them home. I love doing theatre with kids because I know they have fun, and these two were having fun when they were being good. They were begging to be allowed to stay in but we told them they couldn't. I about cried because of it all.
3. Neglectful parents. This comes from the rowdy kids thing. Why the eff can't people teach their children manners?! Its ridiculous to have to constantly be telling the kids to be quiet and to listen, or to tell them over and over to respect us and each other. Really its sad to see so many children who obviously don't have parents that care enough to teach them to respect their elders. ....but that's another blog that I don't have time for now.
4. Grouchiness. Why do we get grouchy? My mom always used to say that we choose to be grouchy, or sad, or angry, or whatever; in some ways it isn't true, but I have realized that in many ways it is. Sure we have excuses for our moods; bad day at work, poor night's sleep, headache, etc., but we do have the ability to try and be cheerful, patient, happy, etc. If we can't make the effort to be in control of our emotions then how can we be in control of anything else?
5. Politics. Its not a secret, I hate politics, most of the time I can easily avoid it, but with the inauguration fresh in our minds of course that is what many people choose to talk about. I honestly struggle with being an American and the responsibilities that come with that privilege. I feel like we have failed to uphold many of the principles that the founders of this nation set forth. I also feel pulled in two different directions; one involves my up-bringing in a fairly conservative home, the other pulling me towards the more liberal-mindedness of the profession I chose to pursue. I don't know how to make the two meet.
6. Myself. Yeah I am frustrated with myself. I am too worried about what others think of me to make a decision in one way or another. I can't decide if I am a Republican or a Democrat, I can't decide what career path to chose, I can't even stand up for myself sometimes. Its frustrating, and tiring, and the main reason for this post...yet a very short entry for the topic.
Sorry my thoughts are very jumbled but I do feel better now that my frustrations are written out for me to see.
I will leave you with this one thought: Jeremiah 1:5 This verse is the cornerstone of my faith and peace. It reminds me that from the very moment I was conceived God had a plan for me. I have to have faith that His plan is better than mine....I'm just having a hard time letting go of control, even though I know very well that I'm not really in control anyways! Why do I worry when I know God already has it all figured out?!
