HEART FLUSH

I must confess that this is not the easy time in one's if this comes from stress. If it comes from joy then it is a different issue.

Hopefully we have more of the palpitations than complaints. Now the problem is that ou can't have one and not have the other.

The heart is a pendulum and you can't expect it to be other than an issue of never stop, even though we love to hope it is otherwise. Nor should we.

To me the challenge is to find better ways to cope with the times that boil the moods. And some are better at this than others.

Plus we each react differently. Some are volcanoes other boiling pots. But we all have a reaction.

Personally I am guilty to often of not venting in a healthy way. And I am grateful that God has helped me to find better and healthier ways of expressing my reactions.

Not perfectly naturally. That is not realistic. Wish it was. However, I have found better options that none at all.

I think in terms of being a believer honestly is a major concern. Nothing complicates things more than being incapable of admitting to a problem.

That attitude will always make things worse. Another way of dealing with it is through prayer.

Perhaps it sounds too predictable, but it is a means that one petitions the Lord to help others with their understanding. To pray for peace.

Unto that end we struggle. The ego can get in the way. And when times boil over this can be a time of examination.

Places we can travel to see a truth we otherwise might not appreciate. From that standpoint, it really is important.

And that is where God is the answer if we listen. Grants us chances to find means to do more than simmer.

In the midst of truth, which include not pretending things don't bother us. Which they always do.

How often the tale is told. A chance to make up a reason life should be our fantasy.

God loves us enough to let those moments pass if we stop lying to ourselves.
