Sometimes I'm a jerk.

So, I was going to a friend's house for a BBQ the other night and I made a bratty comment about something to another friend. I don't know why I did it. I think I did it to be funny but then I realized that I was just being a jerk. I hate that. I don't want to be "that" person.

I used to be really bad at this. Freshman year in college I had this epiphany that I was a this cynical brat that I hated. So, I started to work on it with the Lord's help. I remember the first time I caught a bratty statement before it came out of my mouth. I felt victorious. But...alas, the monster is back and I don't like it.

So, if you hear me being a jerk please just say "Danielle, don't be a jerk!"

Well I don't think your a jerk I think your an awesome woman of God who is human and make mistakes and just like all of us.
It was really nice seeing you yesterday, I love this group and I wanted to say thank you for being so welcoming to me as an outsider.

You're not a jerk, just human... And I miss being around you... although we might be jerks together so it's best we aren't around each other too much! ;)

You are too funny! I can totally relate because sometimes I'm "that girl" too. I hate that but at least we realize it and we are working on it even though sometimes we say stuff we shouldn't! :)

I can be that girl too. Hopefully when we're together we won't become lethal.
