Are you carrying around “baggage” that is holding you back? Mac has a good, short post on “Unload your Emotional Baggage.”
“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.”
- Rene Descartes
“Sometimes our greatest challenge is to get inside our own heads to understand what makes us tick. Why do we feel and behave the way we do?” This a quote from Unload Your Emotional Baggage. I spend maybe too much thinking and evaluating myself and others, but last weekend at the ladies retreat something the speaker said made me think about a person I am struggling with. I realized I did not want to forgive this person and I quite possibly wanted harm to come to her. I needed to realize she is going through something I have no understanding of and with God’s grace I needed to forgive her. It is hard,but when someone else is nasty and ugly I think we need to consider why they are that way and respond with God’s love.
