What is a good Christian?

One of the questions that came up this morning in Sunday School was, " When is it hard to be a Christian?". The answers everyone gave were times that our patients were stretched thin. Work, traffic, family. Basically we were answering the question "when do you get hacked off?" and calling that being a bad Christian. I wonder of the validity of such an idea. There almost seems to be an expectation to be a good Christian means being not human or god like. But is that what it is? For example would Jesus in 2010 sit in traffic at 6 pm and let everyone in the city pass him at one of those merges where 2 lanes becomes 1 and just wait till 8 pm to get home? I don't know if that is what being a good Christian is. Would Jesus struggle with his family who were quirky and strange? He seemed to struggle with Disciples. It seems like when he says things like "Ye of little faith or Couldn't you just sit with me an hour", he is saying, "what is wrong with you guys? Come on!"

 Life is filled with times that are good and bad, sick and well, rich and poor, happy and sad and whether or not we are a Christian doesn't seem to change our circumstances that much. Will we ever find happiness writing out list of rules and checking our boxes off as we are able to follow them? Is that what Jesus meant when he said, " I have come so that you might have a full life."? I don't think it is. I'm not finished with this but running out of brain energy. Please feel free to critique or comment add to but don't take away. Just kidding. I would love to hear your thoughts about these ideas.
