Practical Submission moment
So, my Sir’s parents were staying with us during the Christmas season and it was the last day they would be with us. I had found an amazing deal on a new bbq earlier that day and my Sir and his dad spent the afternoon assembling it. Sir was in charge of cooking the chicken on the new grill. We had done a lego day with our kids together in the family room and there were legos everywhere including Sir’s white architectural ones. The broccoli was halfway done roasting in the oven and the chicken wasn’t on the grill yet. I had texted Sir that I would like him to start cooking the chicken and he said, he’d go in 5 minutes. Well, at 6 minutes, I went downstairs frustrated that it wasn’t started yet to find out what was going on. Sir was finishing his creation and then cleaning up the room to prep it for dinner. I sat down on the couch, holding my mouth shut, as I watched Sir clean up…his parents were in the room, kids were in the room, and I just watched and waited. There was this HUGE internal struggle going on inside me about the chicken not getting cooked in time and the broccoli would be overcooked or cold and Sir isn’t doing what he should be doing and I REALLY REALLY want to make a comment about it. Anyways, I successfully kept my mouth SHUT and later that night Sir thanked me and said he really appreciated that I didn’t say anything as he could tell I was fighting to not talk. He saw my fight and struggle to submit and stay respectful and thanked me for it!! Whew! This was a first ladies! First time being frustrated with something and NOT saying anything about it. In the end, the chicken turned out amazing and everything was just fine….of course…
