In reality, they aren't nearly as concerned about me as I am. <br /><br />I hate it when people take advantage of others just because they think they can.

My cousin and I were in our early 20s and went on a trip and we had to stop for some repair. Then we were told my car's tires would never make it through the mountains. We both were so scared that we didn't know what to do. It ended up though that I absolutely did not have the money for it, so we just hoped for the best. Those tires lasted at least two years and were still on when I traded it in.<br /><br />Thank you so much for this hope-filled post. "Letting him unravel those knots to experience the abundant life he purposed for us is part of this journey to freedom from them." May He unravel our knots!

Oh I know what you mean about getting too tangled that we can't see our way out -- I often feel like that and when it lifts, it's easier to see in hindsight where I could have adjusted. I know we can make progress together, friend! :)Valerie Siscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235325506474887234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-1040697779083086472015-06-04T14:11:40.778-04:002015-06-04T14:11:40.778-04:00Heather,

What a brave thing that is to pray about these situations and changing your reactions and responses, Valerie! I love that God also sent help on your way. That gives me such hope, and a desire to pray about the same thing.

(They could tell me I need new gerbils installed, and I'd agree whole-heartedly.) What a grace that you had a neighbor help you out with the oil change people! <br /><br />I think anyone who can help us contend with our negative emotions is a blessing. We all have them, they are there as a creation from God. But do they inspire me to good things, or drag me down into a pit? It is wonderful to know that God will help me overcome. I can't do it on my own!<br />Blessings,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-51002365239844156602015-06-03T11:13:06.092-04:002015-06-03T11:13:06.092-04:00only He can give that kind of grace that somehow c...only He can give that kind of grace that somehow comes out of our mouths. we just can't drum it up on our own, can we, friend ...Linda Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568264417855502332noreply@blogger.com
