I got angry at a coworker, said some not so nice things to her, and then proceeded to tell several people about our arguement so I could get a little sympathy. <br />The Lord started working on me before I even got home,..I asked for forgiveness, but still had a pretty sleepless night. I'm going to take her a Latte Monday morning and tell her I'm very sorry for my words. <br />I guess we all have those kinds of days, and if we weren't convicted by them, then there would be something wrong, right? <br />Thanks for sharing!

I'm so glad to hear that your depression has lifted. But, what an attack you're undergoing now. I did see that someone said 'go easy on yourself'. Sometimes, when you think you're wrong, you're not (all?) wrong. It's very easy to follow emotions, much harder to examine it and stick w/the (many?) facts and the Lord and what He tells you to do. I think about Ephesians 6:10-19 which includes, when you've done all to stand, stand therefore... or how hard it is to learn 'be angry and sin not'. (Heavenly Father, I lift Becky to You at this time. Knowing how hard these kinds of things can be, how multi-faceted so many things are, I pray for her heart to be enlightened with Your wisdom in this matter. I pray that she uncover what You are teaching her and telling her to do and that she is able to do it without fear and with confidence in You. I pray for whoever is involved, that You will speak to their heart as well. Open doors that need to be opened and close doors that need to be closed. I thank You for Becky and her heart and her blog. I thank You for how You speak to me with things she goes through. THank You for this 'body of Christ' that works together, through it all. I praise Your name. May Your will be done in us, around us and through us. In the name of Yeshua, Christ, our Savior. Amen.)

It was so awesome hearing from you.<br /><br />Now on to your post. Did you read my diary? Because this so describes days that I have experienced, feelings and all, to a "T." Every time I really try to follow God and His ways and really work on my marriage or other relationships, Satan gets right in there to try and sabotage the whole thing. That's why it's not so easy. Also, we have this thing called "the flesh" that makes it so difficult to walk in the Spirit. But press on we must. Move forward. Thanks for sharing and being so open. Hope all is patched up and forgiven soon and that you can start over with a clean slate. Hang in there. Today will be a better day.

All we need to do it keep our eyes on Him and not the circumstance. He always has time for you.<br /><br />Now, I am not telling You I am perfect, I am telling you what I am working on. With that said, it is alot easier to just act out of our human nature and then look for justification ( phone calls) It is through these emotions, where the enemy knows if he can get just get in there and trigger them, he may have a chance to distract us from our journey. The exciting part is that we can learn what these "triggers" are learn to respond in our godly nature.<br />You are on the right path, transparency and wanting to be more like Him is all He wants.<br /><br />Out of our mouth - our heart speaks, so I think it is very accurate that this would happen during your "love dare",you are searching the right place your heart.<br /><br />I pray He will comfort you with peace, understanding and wisdom.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634577121355828510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-11479935672412850892010-01-22T04:42:39.368-05:002010-01-22T04:42:39.368-05:00Aww Becky!

I guess the way that I look at family and friendship is that we have our moments with one another good feelings, hurtful feelings. Like you, I am a peacemaker. I would rather switch then fight. :) However, I have had my moments when enough was enough and I lost it. How did I feel afterward? The very same way that you did. I hope that the person you are close to will understand that your only human and that you will both be able to get past the bad feelings. The last time I had this experience was about 13 years ago and it was with my younger sister. Oh I was so hurt by things she said to me and before I knew it I got angry and said things I wish I had never said. We had silence between us for 10 of those past 13 years. I tried and tried to make it up to her but she has very little forgivness in her heart. It's just the way she is. We talk now but only once a year. I miss what my sister and I once had. We were so close. I have prayed many nights over this but I guess this is the way that it will be. I believe that God took the time to listen to me. But I think that my sister is not open to hearing what he may be saying to her. That's just a guess on my part. I hope that you and your special person will mend things quickly. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Becky. I always take time to think about what you write. Thank you for continuing the Love Dare. Thank you for also putting the song "World I know" by Collective Soul on your playlist. It is one of my favorite songs. <br /><br />I'm sending good thoughts, prayers and hugs to you.<br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103572563333198645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-12872920930848193922010-01-21T21:52:26.930-05:002010-01-21T21:52:26.930-05:00It's a horrible feeling but everyone has their...It's a horrible feeling but everyone has their breaking point and you know we are very much like an old teakettle on the stove!
