"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

CHOOSE YOUR PAIN


Getting to the root of your anger and working through it can be very painful. The emotional trauma I sustained early on in life found me stuffing my feelings in order to survive as my world around me crumbled.

My desire for the best in what God has to offer me now and going on four years of t., have gotten me closer to the root(s) of my anger issues and dealing with them. Although at times very hard, as I still have some unresolved anger issues, I continue to shoot for the pain that will draw me closer to the Lord and His glory!


"If you want the great and mighty things God has for you, you must get to the root of anger and deal with it. Get rid of the masks and face the things that happened in your life that made you the way you are today. Admit that you can't change by yourself. Until the root is removed, it’ll continue to produce one bad fruit after another. Too often we spend our lives dealing with the bad fruit of our behavior, but we never dig deep enough to get to the root of the problem. Actually, when we're faced with anger, we must choose our pain. Digging deep to take care of the bad root is painful, but it’s the only lasting way to take care of the problem. We can either suffer positively, doing what’s right or we can go with the devil's plan. But remember, the same devil who tempts you to follow your human feelings will later condemn you for doing it. You must decide if you want the pain that will take you into a new realm of glory or to keep your same old pain and try to hide it while it's rotting inside you." - Joyce Meyer
