And I know I am not perfect at it most of the time. I am still learning. But reading this gave me encouragement to continue on and to allow Jesus to continue working at my heart. I have a friend I have been meaning to talk with for the past few weeks but my fear of confrontation keeps getting the best of me. Maybe it's time?

I have an anger response to getting frustrated and it is pretty similar to this, but slightly different at the same time. Now I need to figure out how to conquer it because I do NOT handle the frustration and anger the right way. And it's because I'm super selfish. This has been a struggle for years upon years and only got worse once I got married, and worse once I had kids! I've got to get a handle on this fast.<br /><br />I read your FAQ page right after leaving that comment.

Good for you on the intense introspection to figure out how you tick. I have the opposite problem, I am a big cry baby and immediately let people know when they've hurt me. Then you are not taken seriously bc of being labeled over sensitive :) Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164338748942349594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-5809866868734610082013-04-24T14:39:18.330-04:002013-04-24T14:39:18.330-04:00You are officially on my "safe people to do c...You are officially on my "safe people to do conflict with" list, FYI, which is a very short list. And it's because I've seen this dynamic in your life that you wrote about, even from a distance, and even though we haven't had our virgin friendship conflict (yet). I guess I'm just writing to tell you that yes, the things you are working for in your life, are visible to others. Even those who are still just getting to know you.<br /><br />Love you, love this.

He was declared wrong, and guilty when He was innocent, so that we can be declared innocent when we're guilty.<br /><br />And what's so beautiful is that every time we put down our armor, we destroy the lie that says, "You'll regret this" for one another. <br /><br />Thanks for doing this for me so many times, you are brave and beautiful.Jesse Dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463355853019640085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-77350430682069357972013-04-24T13:25:44.485-04:002013-04-24T13:25:44.485-04:00Awesome post, Keight!Awesome post, Keight!Chelsea @ Married Filing Jointlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04684223309187607737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-66110713925668660492013-04-24T12:51:42.949-04:002013-04-24T12:51:42.949-04:00You're the bomb-diggity.

A gift with words. (Some I’ve never even heard before but whatever.) You have a way of bringing hard, difficult, scary things down to such a personal level you can’t help but use it in every day life! Seriously, if you are not counseling people or teaching a study group or something along those lines, people are missing out. I just can’t get over how you can bring so many truths down to an extremely super practical way of life! Like, duh, why didn’t I think of that?? But there’s a gift there with how you can think that logically and get it across SO well. Wow. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!<br />(Also, I'm wondering how you "justify" for lack of a better word, cursing? You've used it here on your blog and you've also mentioned that you have real-life church friends that read your blog. Don't you wonder what they will say/do/think if they read that? Just curious! Sorry if this is too personal to ask here!)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504225638122812110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-13945627117313146142013-04-24T12:15:10.531-04:002013-04-24T12:15:10.531-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504225638122812110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-17628935241203870652013-04-24T12:07:53.530-04:002013-04-24T12:07:53.530-04:00And RaeKeightion lives on.
