ImageMy name is Corrinne, I had a nickname called "Chilli Padi", seldom used in my family. I got this nickname because I used to be a very quick-tempered person. I got angry easily, and I was like a volcano in other people's eyes, especially my family members.Sometimes they will feel uneasy to talk to me when they see the changes in my emotion because they are scared of being scolded by me.

I always lose my temper in front of my family members when things just don't go the way that I want. I always take for granted because I know that no matter how bad my temper is, my family members will still accept me because I know that they love me very much. I remembered once, I had a quarrel with my dad. He was grumbling towards me because I broke a plate when I was washing the dishes. I shouted at him, warning him to stop grumbling or else I will break another plate. After I threatened him like that, I was hurt. I was upset about my father's grumbling and also my own attitude towards him. I know that he will be hurt by my word. However, I still continue on with my bad-temper and never think of ways to stop losing temper to people nearest to me.

After I completed my form six, I came to KL. I was invited to church by several different people; one of whom is my brother. I was curious about God and Christianity and I requested my brother to arrange a Bible study for me. As I studied the Bible, I realized that how much God had loved us that He sacrificed His son on the cross to die for us to wash away our sins. I was struggling to decide to believe in God and follow Him because I was unwilling to give up my sinful life, where I will not be able to just release my tension to other people around me. After much thinking, I decided to throw my old self away and follow God, because I really want to change, and I do not want to hurt people around me anymore, especially my family members.

Becoming a Christian, I learned to love my family members by doing little things to encourage them and to really show my concern to them. I still struggle with my temper at times. Like the time when I felt tired and stressed out and shouted at my mom. I regretted it because I knew that I shouldn't be like that, and was ashamed of myself. It was hard to face my mom again after I yelled at her. I was disappointed by my own attitude, and in my heart, I felt God was disappointed with me because I had forgotten His teaching where He wants us to love people around us, slow to speak and slow to become angry. But he gives me the strength, to apologize to my mom about my rudeness. The relationship can heal and continue to grow stronger. How different from the past, where I would never apologize and continue to aggravate the relationship.
Stories
I learned to be able to control my emotions better. Now, I hardly loose my temper on others, nor do I yell or scold them. I found new ways to really release my stress, going to God in my prayers whenever I am unhappy, disappointed or upset about things that do not go my way. After telling God everything that I feel, I am relieved, knowing that He is always there for me. Different from the past, where I hurt others by saying harsh words, yet feeling sorry, regret and in turn hurt myself. Different from the past where I wouldn't open my mouth to apologize. But now, I am careful to not hurt others, and myself emotionally.

God taught me a lot in building relationship with people, and no matter how bad I was before I was a Christian, God and the other Christians still accepted me. They tell me the truth and help me to overcome my struggles. God does not expect me to change in one night, but He moulds me over time, into someone gentler and willing to be responsible in handling my emotions.

If I was not able to accept God, I think I will have lesser friends because people would feel scared to talk to me, and my relationship with my family members wouldn't have grown as much. Now, I am much happier because I am not fighting alone. God helps me to have self-control over my emotions. It is also much easier, because when I stop hurting others, I also stop hurting my self. Now, my family members are even willing to share about their struggles because they trust me, and value the help that I can offer. They have the confidence that I will not feel angry when they come to me and have a lot to say.

From,
Corrinne
