Anger

It's been a week since I entered a blog post.

Practically an eternity for me.

But tonight's lesson at Bible study was about anger.

And I realized, not for the first time, mind you, that I'm kinda angry.

MORE THAN KINDA, if I'm honest.

I can't even post the things I'm angry about. That would give away confidences that I can't exploit.

But suffice it to say, I'm angry.

The study tonight detailed different ways of handling anger.


1. Suppressing it. Check! I tend to not communicate things until I blow. Not good.
2. Open aggression. Although accused, I haven't boiled a bunny yet.
3. Passive aggression. I have a blinged out, sparkly crown with a PA emblazoned in 100 percent cubic zirconia. It's hot.


I'm working on it.


Working.


Work in progress.


I tend to shut people out. Build walls. Don't let myself get hurt again. Hurt before I get hurt. I think that's the product of being hurt myself.


Epheians 4:31-32 says:

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. ³² Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

So that's what I'm going to work on this week.
