~Some things I have learnt this last week…~

1. I have a limit:
I don’t know when it might come so I need to look out for it and get new strategies. Even if I am handling it ok right now, there is a point at which all of a sudden I start not coping. I need to be aware of that and that I can only do so much and then I have to walk away and not get pulled into solving a problem that I can’t solve.

2. Don’t play games and get sucked in:
I am learning how to handle situations with people who are agitated or upset…. I am learning to keep calm, keep a steady tone, not get pulled into the ‘game’ playing scenario.

3.What the real issue is:
I am learning that when people are upset there is often something else at the bottom of the whole thing, people deflect their agitation onto other things but if you dig just a little, in the right way at the right time you can find out what the problem really is! You can find on what is going on beneath the surface. The root of the problem might not be anything to do with what is happening on the surface.

When we can begin to grasp these things it does help us to deal with things in a much calmer way. It's like God gives us the x-ray eyes to see right through to the core of the issue!!

When I can look at the things happening around me like this it is kind of like an ‘out of body experience’ for me. And then if I get pushed that little bit further and I reach my limit its when I re-enter my body and then I may feel the pain.

When God is beginning to deal with you in certain areas of your life then some things will start coming out into the light and it’s probably not going to be pleasant…. We know that the pain of staying where we are is much worse than the pain of going through.

When you are not prepared to work through these things it makes it hard to cope with today…. You can’t cope with today if you haven’t dealt with yesterday! The yesterday’s catch up on you.

If this is where you are at it may be very difficult right now but remember the people closest around you don’t necessarily know what is happening… And it can be hard but God can give the grace to make it through in the best way. When you are avoiding your yesterday’s then you are not able to cope with today in the best way possible. You just don’t have it in you.

The closer you get to God and his word that is when the light starts to shine more brightly, brighter and brighter so what God wants to work on in your life has only one way to go… Up and out! The good goes in and it forces the bad stuff out. The two cannot coexist!

It may mean that every now and again you have a little melt down, the spewy times that you have will happen but as time goes on they will lessen and the time frame between these points will be longer and longer, maybe one day it won’t be an issue anymore!
