“Fearing The Day”

Hearts pounding trips into the unknown,
Things that should not be; yet still they are so.

In adolescence it’s normal to push against the fray,
To chase fear with anticipation and with joy we do stay.

In youth we are embedded as wisdom slowly grows,
Wisdom becomes folly if not supported in the know.

Fear can be something that keeps you alive,
Yet fear it can trap you and cause you to die.

With wisdom and knowledge comes truth we can see,
Put your faith in the Creator and He’ll set you free.

-written by T. Myers

I wrote this poem as a lead-in to our first lesson in our series called Fear. A new poem and lesson to come out each week. Talk to you all soon!

Christ, Anger & Relationships

As each persons grieving process is unique, anger may or may not, become apart of your unique process. Be willing to feel angry if you need too. It’s ok to be angry! You just lost someone or something very important to you. As you grieve, anger may start to feel endless. Don’t try to stop the progress.

Allow the anger in, just as much as you can handle, as eventually, when your ready, the anger will begin to dissipate. However anger as any other emotion does not follow our will, or any other type of program or design. Anger can resurface at the worst of times, and in concert with any other emotion.

God’s Word say’s, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
(1st Corinthians 10:13) NKJV

God Bless,
Love God and Love People…

The Phrase -4 Today

The word -4 today is Denial…
And then the phrase for today is…
“Grief & Emotional Tethers”

Denial, is one of the know stages of grief. The original five written and Imagined by author Elizabeth Kubler Ross. Denial is just one of several known emotions that God created within the human brain and psyche, needed and opened to us fully, post the fall of Man.

God in his love and wisdom knew that the emotions He created, would someday play a significant part in subduing the Earth and our known universe.

Denial and shock help us to cope, and make survival possible. Denies helps us to pace our feelings of grief. There is a grace in denial. It is Christs way of letting in only as much as we can handle.

As you begin to accept the reality of the loss and start to ask yourself questions, you will be both conscious, and subconsciously beginning the healing process. As you become stronger, your denial will eventually fade…

Love in grace,

January 22nd, 2024

Grief is the natural reaction to loss. Grief is both a universal and a personal experience. Individual experiences of grief vary and are influenced by the nature of the loss.
Some examples of loss include the death of a loved one, the ending of an important relationship, a job loss, or the loss of independence through a personal disability.

It’s important that those grieving along side an individual understand, that grieving is unique to each person and cannot be controlled as they enter the difficult stages of grief. Understanding why they're suffering can help, as can talking to others and resolving issues that cause significant emotional pain.
