Usually i can accept Sir's decisions in things even when i would not necessarily have made the same decision myself or i don't quite understand His motives. But we are pretty much on the same page with bringing up our children, and i am allowed an equal say in any decisions involving them, so there are no issues there.
i can only really think of one occasion when i was angry with Him over something He did, and that was when He refused to send money to a very close friend of mine who was in financial difficulties and He also banned me from sending any money either. i was very very cross because i just couldn't understand why He wouldn't let me help this person, seeing as He knew how much she meant to me and how upset it was making me to know the problems she was going through and not be able to do anything to help. i probably didn't handle the situation in the best way possible either, because rather than discuss it calmly with Him and ask for His reasons why, i just got very sulky and short-tempered, so Sir left me to calm down for a while. It actually still makes me a little bit angry to think back on it, but nothing like the anger i felt at the time. After dwelling on it and talking it through with Sir i came to accept His decision, even though i didn't agree with it and i respected His orders and did not send any money to my friend even though i still wanted to. i know that He had good reasons for His decision, even though i don't fully know what those are, because in every other decision He has made since i've known Him He's turned out to be right. So i just have to trust that and go with it.
Apart from that one time i haven't really gotten angry with Sir. i've been angry in general, and angry at other people and situations that have occured, and those feelings can impact on my service to Him. But it's very very rare that i get angry at something that Sir has done. Which is a good thing. And i think i'm fully immersed enough in my role now to be able to obey and follow Him even when He does do something i don't agree with and that makes me angry. Which again is a good thing, i think.
