I did my journal entry for yesterday late last night, so although these 2 journal enties are on the same day I'm not cheating, I promise!

Well, todays stepping stone touched on several things that could definitely use some work in my life. Anger, that's a big one!! I'm a very angry person sometimes. In fact, last night I got angry at my husband and it started a fight. Sometimes I feel like I can't even control my anger though. I think I may have a hormone imbalance (sometimes I know I do!). I even think to myself, why am I so angry? It surprises me sometimes how very angry I get. I don't want to be like that, honestly, it just feels like I can't help it. But I know God can help me, hopefully He and I can work on that one.
Selfishness, also a big one for me!
So I will keep these in mind and work on them.

Anger and selfishness we all know well.

One day at a time, working beside Him ... you will definately overcome these obstacles as you learn more of Him and are willing to work within yourself to become more like Him.

God bless u on this journey!

I know what you mean about anger. I feel angry all the time. It is one reason I joined this site. I just felt so overwhelmed and it has been nice to realize I am not the only one out here feeling this way. I can only offer that sometimes it works just to read and understand you are not alone and there is help out there.

Your welcome sis!

And akie, it is nice isnt it.. to be able to be real and talk with real people who are honest inwards and acknowledge their faults and are willing to grow and learn how to overcome them, instead of the plastic smiles. We need to be real with one another and hold each other accountable.

Gotta be real with yourself, before you can be real with others.

God bless ya both!

Thank you Akie, for the comforting words and advice. I am really liking this 14 day study and I think it has some great ideas on how to harness the crazy emotions and out of control thoughts. I am definitely going to try and put them to practice. I don't like being so angry, I really don't.
