Philippians 1:10

Power to discriminate with clarity and decide.

Humility

Guarded vulnerability.

Psalm 73:21,22

Handicapped slave when resentment or envy embitters.

Conclusions

Brain jump or brain dump?

Hiring Out Emotions

Who am I going to go to to listen to them listening to me?

Grudge

Holding on to it too long causes one to forget what was learned from what happened to cause it.

Guided, Not Mis-Guided, Humor

Humor can soften the blow of a past wound to make it a present strength. It can govern resistance into acceptance leading to deeper self-acceptance without reliance on justification, excuses, or distorted narratives.

Luke 10:1

Life trains you with a 4 by 4 but it’s better to go out 2 by 2.

Amos 5:24

Serious and free.

Humor

Humor used to make someone laugh can bring out masked emotions. Laughing while talking often is a way to cover emotions or hide the real ones especially related to insecurities or inadequacies. Learn to recognize and distinguish between the two. We tend to judge these two ways without interpretive skills to know what to know or know what to do next with someone.

I Forgive

Stress freed not stress fried.

Worry

Worry is always in a hurry.

It creates a whirlwind from a flurry.

Seems too blurry to catch to bury.

Even makes my speech slurry.

What if worry is a signal by a referee

To enter the refinery of Peace in spite of me.

Revived

Burning my doubts after burnout.

2 Peter 1:3,4

Often what we think is missing is not what matters.
