Like Kelly said, we hold it in and hold it in - possibly because of this fear - only to have it completely burst out over the smallest things. Where is the line - where does it stop. Jesus turned over the tables after He was angered - and that wasn't sin - so when is it sin? I'm very curious to see where this goes...Dorothy Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212451819372096138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400438293981397046.post-9943862348819703762009-06-01T10:29:34.657-07:002009-06-01T10:29:34.657-07:00Kay responds....
Kelly and Nicole, I thank you. I...Kay responds....<br />Kelly and Nicole, I thank you. I had an incident come up in my work a few weeks ago and I was angry; and I felt it, processed it, was blessed by its fire and I did not sin. The person who so angered me has become close and important to me professionally and personally.<br /><br />You both encouraged me. I need the Truth on anger. Where this pursuit goes beyond that is Father God's business. But I know there are many of us unclear on how to live out this Biblical and psychological truth.Kay Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439531579914171736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400438293981397046.post-88437117413715734482009-06-01T08:19:47.816-07:002009-06-01T08:19:47.816-07:00I wanted to add...praying for you right now as you...I wanted to add...praying for you right now as you seek the Father about this issue.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298677165838555844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400438293981397046.post-38160716735065941852009-06-01T08:18:47.450-07:002009-06-01T08:18:47.450-07:00I am so glad that you are writing about this.

When this happens I know that I am sinning, but I don't want to repress it and deny what I am feeling. So, I explode. Usually on my husband. He gets the brunt. Poor guy. :( <br /><br />Anyways, I remember growing up with a dad who exploded with anger quit a few times, and it was always known that dad has "anger problem". So, be careful what you tell him etc.... So, when I get angry like this I think of my dad, and wonder what the deal is. Did I pick this up from him. Is this generational etc. I used to feel really guilty about it, but I know that's truly how I am feeling and I have been asking God lately to help me with this. I want the root of the issue to be dug up, so the anger can be solved. <br /><br />I like how you wrote at the beginning about asking the lady you counseled about anger being hurt turned inward. Hmmmm, that really got me thinking. Today, when I got angry with my husband, I think it was because I was hurt. It's his bday today and I feel like no matter what I do to make his day special it's never enough. So, what do I do, I get angry. Well, I know it's because I'm hurt, and I can't MAKE him respond in the way that I want him to. <br /><br />Have I said I am SO glad you are writing about this??? I am so excited to glean from the wisdom that God has showed you. Be blessed my dear friend!!!<br /><br /><br />Love in Him,<br />NicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298677165838555844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400438293981397046.post-10346687957583886572009-06-01T05:40:54.357-07:002009-06-01T05:40:54.357-07:00Angry?

Until finally some stupid thing is the straw that breaks the camels back and I'm yelling over the most ignorant of things leaving people wondering "why would she be angry about THAT?!??" Of course, I'm not. I'm angry about 100 other things I never responded too. But "THAT" little thing is the thing that pushes me over the edge. *sigh*Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458659497370768232noreply@blogger.com
