Wow Bryan you could fool me about having been in unsuccessful support groups! You’re such a creative ✨️ positive support leader and you say things from your heart…it’s kind of like the way ✨️ I led the creative writers group which I did volunteer…I was so happy when the group kept growing and the lady in charge said she wanted me to do it cause I’d been certified… not a teacher…a writer and a student. We had all kinds of personal stuff in our lives to write about…one time a student said I was so good I deserved to have my salary doubled! I thought a moment then said I have 0 salary so doubled would be 0…they said yes! lol I’ve really improved cause I’ve got the Oxford dictionary on my cell and believe me Bryan I use it alot now mostly to look up words from your nutshellsermons…you have a tremendous vocabulary Bryan! And you deserve more than a double salary! You’re excellent at everything you do too!
I’ve found that sleeping is the only thing I can do to avoid being vexed and having unwanted feelings…I’m retired so I have a choice of how I live . Only problem is don’t have much $$ but am told it’s worth it to live here all bills paid except cell phone within budget. The thing I had to learn Bryan was how to join a group of people mostly I don’t know and make friends and move with flow. The other important thing was moving on! One of me fav words not in dictionary is letitgo…lol
Truth doesn’t care about our feelings…that is so true lol
My feelings/ emotions have made me do stupid stuff that I regret then those same emotions try to make me “feel” horrible forever. But I am grateful Jesus took all my mess and I don’t have to carry it. And when I try to I can just trust Him to continue to help me.
I am vexed with the zeitgeist and a feeling that I want to get out but can’t stand or find a way…I constantly fear I’ll be committed to here and fearful I won’t be able to stay and get therapy I need…fear being trapped and being lost at the same time…many people don’t understand . Especially at my age…I’m a little young for this…I’m retired and your age Bryan and don’t see a way out except to Pray for God’s grace and cure.. many times I forget my age until I see my picture.. I take a selfie every morning…it’s the gray hair color that vexed me. I don’t know if any of this is on the subject you wanted…it’s a hard one to write on but you’re not alone Bryan cause I feel that way too!
I’m in a geriatric skilled nursing center for physical therapy after a bad fall at home 4 years ago. For insurance reasons I was transferred to long term from assisted, but can attend churc and any activities I like …we have an entire month’s schedule of activities…I entered on my phone…I need a lift to get up and in my wheelchair…have friends I knew here and one was in my writer’s group.. another came to visit yesterday…I published my own photo book last year, Jane Elizabeth Recovery Care….all selfies and had 3 portraits copied on canvas 11 x 14. I have a degree in photojournalism and in Lambda Pi Eta. + MLA. Don’t want to sound smug Bryan…you’ve asked before what I do where I live…I say I’m a retired writer cause thought that covered all!
A verse that speaks directly to the complexity of human emotions is Proverbs 14:13:
“Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.”
This verse highlights how outward expressions like laughter can mask inner sorrow, and how feelings of joy are often temporary and can give way to sadness. It’s a poignant reflection on the multifaceted nature of our emotional lives.
It does talk about feelings but in round about ways. But we need to be aware that we don’t act just on our feelings. But I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve . Music is all about that…
This one blessed me like no other. I am grateful to have found you and to have connected with you and this platform recently….spurred on by that podcast you did with Paul Ahnert on Road Less Traveled. This raw honesty connects w me & refreshes. Blessed day! Will continue to pray for and support this ministry. ️❤️
well there you are MC! … I too am tech challenged.. didn’t recognize my own ‘income source’ thingy from PP… apparently I’m spicious o me … LOL thanks for the donation btw

I’m just happy to find a conclusion here in the middle of all these emotions
It’s easy to feel vexed today with the zeitgeist…it’s some kind of weird game…that if you call it that…you are…weird…now get out of that.
