"Thick and Thin"

I will admit that I am an emotional woman. Sometimes I can be sensitive and get my feelings hurt easily. This does not make me a delicate flower and certain situations do trigger my thoughts etc. I form an opinion and sometimes just have to process through that. Sometimes, I have found myself thinking I didn't want to be sensitive, but that is like saying I don't want to be like God made me. While there is always room to grow, it is a choice in how I respond to things that happen. I can choose how I respond to what people do or don't do. In some things I can grow and not be so sensitive. I can be more confident in who I am and not so "soft" Being emotional can naturally have its downside. One can be hurt by things that people do or don't do. Some things naturally may have nothing to do with me but it may be taken personal and thus cause silent grief. In these moments, it is important to remember that God is in control and whether you feel it or not, He sees our hearts and is there with me and YOU! It is important to ask Him to help us in our pain to heal and or grow from the experience. It is okay to be emotional to some extent because that is how you were made. It is okay to acknowledge the feelings to God He is there for you. Talk to Him as you process the feelings, and then listen to what He might say to you. Dust yourself off and move on. God is here through thick and thin and even when you fall He will pick you up.
