Psalms 2: 4-5
The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath
Who is God, and how are You 'perfect'?
Well, in one perspective, trying to imagine what God is like is impossible.
Since God is beyond human comprehension, how would I even understand perfection at God's level?
But then, how does he act in the Bible?
In Psalms 2, there is a description of how God laughs and scoffs.
It does not describe his laughter, but laughter convey amusement.
Therefore, God could have been felt amusement.
(And since God's emotions are different than ours, I can only try to understand His laughter to this degree)

I am sad.
Sad from confusion and frustration.
Add a little embarrassment.
In the middle of this sadness....
-I want to hug somebody
-I start thinking that beating somebody up will let my anger go
-I decided to set up a time with my good friend and mentor to talk (whom I also want to hug)
-I am forcing myself looking into the Word again,
If I let the anger get to me enough that I avoid people, God, the Word, and.... sometimes food, then I am really screwing things up further.
This incident wasn't even that big of a deal. At least yet.
I have faith that things will go fine, even if they do not go the way I plan.
And hey, why don't things always go the way I plan?
I have my Plan A1, Plan A2, Plan B, and a murky Plan C.
Then bam, she says something that takes my plans apart.
And of course I am exclaiming my frustration about an unpredictable future, is to show acknowledgement of my silliness.
But God has plans for me.
Knowing that, I plan to continue pursuing God throughout these emotions.
Somehow, I find it easier to pour my anger into motivation.
On a finishing note, I find it easier to pray to God about hopeless topics.
Those hopeless things can only be solved by a miracle, and I feel more at ease about asking God in my prayers.
