I’ve been learning to address issues better this year, too. It’s hard. It’s a risk. I’m glad you gathered the courage and hit the “send” button.

I need to stop telling myself that I am not losing weight because I am gaining muscle…and just adjust my diet already! That or double my running. I think I will scrap the potato chips and chocolate.

I am still stuck on yesterday’s post on losing the last 10, I mean 15 pounds of baby weight. Hit me right in the gut…….in more ways then 1.

I generally talk myself out of working out if I am not scheduled to teach. Thank-you again for sharing. I have been blessed with your insite.

I am SUCH a people pleaser– something I am really working through with God’s grace. In the past, before I sent an email, or asked a question, or reached out for help, I obsessed over how I thought it would be received; and often didn’t move forward due to my own fear or rejection or condemnation.

I have learned to seek God’s counsel in a lot of these areas, so if I have that uneasy feeling, I try to determine with His guidance whether that feeling is just the “crazies” talking in my head, or whether He is telling me to hold back for a reason.

Great post, and I am proud you were brave enough to hit send!!

Blessings,
Lindsey

Too bad I didn’t read this earlier this morning – I need to clean the house! I’ve let the cluttery stuff get out of control and allowed clean clothes to sit around folded but not put away. I really need to just do it, but I haven’t.

Good for you – I’m glad you made a good decision today to do what you needed to do! I praise the Lord for His Grace in that matter.

Thanks for the GREAT post!!!! Julie

Have you ever done the Spiritual Growth study? There’s a whole section on ammends and proactive conflict resolution. It’s hard, but healthy. So glad it worked out well for you!!!

this post really hit my heart…

i do the exact thing in stores…the longer im in the store, the less i buy (if anything). i have faced difficult things, one thing in particular, that i have addressed but got no results. i have learned to depend on God to help me past these tough things that i don’t understand. as long as i let Him, He takes the pain away. as soon as i take back the issue, the pain comes back. im trying to let God have it all the time, but its hard. the one thing that God has taught me during the difficult times is that i need to pray and let Him lead me. im trying to grow and mature and think before acting and im learning. its hard and its painful but i am learning…

but i have found that when i do, i grow!

easier said than done!
