Oh, to fully know how to surrender.<BR/><BR/>I so agree with Laura...whatever did happen...God is using it for His glory. You have been such an encouragement to me and I have so appreciated your honest, loving, expressive words.<BR/><BR/>I am praying that maybe one weekend we can meet somewhere for that good ol' Tex-Mex meal :).<BR/><BR/>With Love, StacyStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125250538857089377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363219701859117442.post-21406203223488065832009-02-19T23:35:00.000-06:002009-02-19T23:35:00.000-06:00Liz,The Serenity prayer I have a copy of it posted...Liz,<BR/><BR/>The Serenity prayer I have a copy of it posted at my desk. I to loved the list of what's left in my control. <BR/><BR/>I've never been one to understand how to release my anger. It wasn't until 2 years ago where a friend helped me to express my anger at Brett but in a way that helped me to choose my words. <BR/><BR/>The anger being one letter away from danger. Wow that's so true, Danger to us and to our soul.<BR/><BR/>Your such an inspiration of holding strong to your faith, and God's glory is shinning through you.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550650176617319950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363219701859117442.post-3003228958968500872009-02-18T14:55:00.000-06:002009-02-18T14:55:00.000-06:00I love the "anger is one letter away from danger."...I love the "anger is one letter away from danger." That's good. <BR/><BR/>I can so relate to what you said about something happening 17 months ago and you dealing with anger and your words. It's strange, I didn't really see myself in your words and your description of anger UNTIL...until you said the word "words". I stopped in my tracks and it's like it clicked. My words were very angry...my world stopped and changed drastically 19 months ago. (19 1/2 but not that I'm counting). <BR/><BR/>"my words hurt in ways that still ring in my ears,"---oh how true that is. The words that spewed out of my mouth...what shame in what I spewed. <BR/><BR/>I love this: " now, whenever I feel that little rise of anger, I nearly drop on my knees in prayer." Oh, how I wish that could've been me before my 19 months. But, I'm trusting He has a reason and allowed it all for His purpose. My pain for His purpose, right?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your heart, Liz.<BR/>Love,<BR/>PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363219701859117442.post-64081384566852576282009-02-18T12:47:00.000-06:002009-02-18T12:47:00.000-06:00Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us.....Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us... for being so open.<BR/>May God bless you as you continue this path of cleaning up your thought closet!<BR/><BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363219701859117442.post-5512083962850842562009-02-18T11:02:00.000-06:002009-02-18T11:02:00.000-06:00Oh, friend,Whatever happened those months ago, He ...Oh, friend,<BR/><BR/>Whatever happened those months ago, He is using it for His glory. You inspire with your faith and steadfast spirit. Struggling with anger...mine is not knowing how to release it. Always keeping it in until it does explode.
