The Anger.

The way I discovered my inner hurt was from the severe anger I experienced. I still fight with it, "during that time of the month", if you know what I mean, but nothing like I used to. I would be just fine and with no warning for me or anyone else, I would be in an outrage. My heart would beat so fast, I was irrational, just out of control. So what else could I do but run to Christ. That was the ticket. The ticket to freedom. I knew something was wrong, because Jeremy would say what's wrong, and I had no answer. It was easy to find an excuse, but I knew deep down the truth was that I didn't know why I was so angry. I don't remember when, but I'm sure it was the holy spirit leading me, but one day I was in a rage, and I don't know if I blew up or not, but I went to God with it, and it was like a dam broke. I sobbed and sobbed and he began to show me just how deeply I had been hurt. For the first time I had sympathy for myself. I liked to pretend I was tough, that was one of my covers, but I was (and still am), a needy child of God. He revealed the lie that, "it was no big deal" and showed me the truth that it was a huge, soul damaging, deal.
In our darkest hour if we'll only come to him, he will lead us down the path of righteousness. I learned that the hard way. The Devil loves to make me forget with distractions, but Jesus prevails every time!! Praise God.

I've enjoyed your sharing. Its amazing what the Lord will show us if we allow ourselves to let him. Although i have to admit its not easy but I know he's there to walk me through it. It helps to know your not alone.

Hi momma3. It does help. I think lonliness is the enemies favorite device for women.

Like you, I suffer with anger and irritable at certains times of the month. Lately I've been able to recognize it when it's happening, now I need to take it one step further and run to God with my anger and frustration. Thanks for sharing!
