Aside From Anger

By Christina

AngerMGMTDealing with anger issues? Short-fused? Quick to fly off the handle? Well we all have those moments. In traffic, a heated discussion with someone, being hurt by someone you care about or just when things don’t go your way. We experience a loss of control…and then blow up! It is done, the milk has spilled! This is something we need to bring under subjection. We have to move aside from anger because all that it does is cause us danger.

We experience anger in so many avenues. Anger with others, with ourselves and sometimes even with God! Can we even overcome this? Yes we can! There is a way to move aside from anger and reach a place of consistent peace. You just need to want it. Continue reading

Only Him

By Christina

heart2godThere is a space that really only goes for Him. No one else can see it or nothing else can fill it. I spoke with a counselor friend and shared some journal entry I wrote in comparison to what I have written for the world to see on this blog site. He said to me those are deep words. I said, “Well this is how I feel some days. This is me.”

I think perhaps I am not sharing all. Does that mean what I do share is not entirely truthful. It is. There are just some pages left in my journal that will only belong to God. That is the intimate piece. I share a lot of things…truth, experience, values, perspective and words that have inspired my life. But there are some pages that will always be hidden and only visible to the One who created me. Continue reading

Put the Words of God in Your Heart

By Christina

TruthI think this happens to us all. The words or actions of people start to penetrate our soul. They start to penetrate our being and our inner peace! Maybe a “friend” is telling you something that someone else said about you, a person saying something against a dream you have or plans, perhaps a boss breathing down your neck and it starts to aggravate you or just hearing something negative that just throws off your whole day. I started to hear some, “Can I just share something with you….” And it immediately started to disturb me. Then I said to myself, “Let the words of God edify you! Put the words of God in your heart!” and I began to feel better. I quickly shifted the conversation to gently let the person recognize that their own words were not edifying me. We have the power to CANCEL OUR CONVERSATIONS!!! Everyone has an opinion, a word, or something they want to say but if it has no truth, if it is unnecessary or unkind – DON’T LISTEN! Don’t accept that and keep it moving. Continue reading

Forty Rocks!

By Christina

FORTY ROCKS

image

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the ROCK. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it was founded on the ROCK. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
~Matthew 7:24-27 Continue reading
