Personal confession... I'm a fixer at heart. For so long, I've considered my fix-it nature a gift—a spiritual gift, in fact. But over the past few years, as I've been on a journey toward untangling my emotions, I've come to see things in a very different light.
The truth is that I've been so busy fixing stuff that I've neglected the "feeling" part of me.
I haven't given myself permission to feel. I haven't given the people in my life permission to feel what they actually feel. It turns out you can't feel feelings while you're preoccupied with fixing them. Crazy, right?
I bet you can relate. In fact, I know it. I bet you tend to resist examining your feelings, too. But as hard as we might try, our feelings can't be beat back. They can't be ignored or dismissed.
Will you join me for the free Untangle Your Emotions Online Bible Study? Together, we're going to learn to listen to what our emotions are trying to tell us and embrace the truth that our feelings were never meant to be fixed; feelings are meant to be felt.
Until we start living in God's purpose for our feelings and emotions, we will miss the real, rich experience of life He intends for us. Emotional health is possible... I hope you'll join us!
