My life has been ruled by emotion. I have not been the master of my emotions, my emotions have mastered me. They have lied to me adn I continually believed them. The drama must stop.
This is affecting my children. Jamison has been through trauma in his life already and so heightened emotion triggers his defense. I hae noticed the we run in patterns together. This must stop.
How I feel is the not the determination of how I act.
I must overcome my tendancy to invite depression, agression, moodiness and irritation.
God has already made a way, and now He will complete the work in my life.
I have created an "walking on eggshells" situation with my husband and children. Everyone is always tiptoeing around trying not to "upset" me. This is wrong, so wrong. It is a learned behavior, but it is wrong.

Jeremiah 31:29 "In those days, it will never again be said: The fathers have eaten sour grapes,and the children's teeth are set on edge. 30 Rather, each will die for his own wrongdoing. Anyone who eats sour grapes-his own teeth will be set on edge.

Jeremiah 10:23 I know, Lord,that a man's way of life is not his own;no one who walks determines his own steps.
