The past few weeks have been filled with many trials and difficulties. It is a very personal matter that I don’t want to really discuss further and continue to dwell on. I know that I don’t have control over everything. I can’t make everyone happy. I can’t control other people’s feelings. What they do is between them and God. But I failed yet again. Because I reacted irrationally. However, it was a mistake that made me realize how helpless I really am without God’s wisdom. I had allowed my emotions to dictate my own decisions again. My emotions tempted me to do things that I desire not to do.

I did what I felt.

Why did God have to design women to be more emotional than men? It has always been a constant battle for me between what I feel and what I know is right and rational.

Some things that I was taught from my pastor-teacher:

Emotional stress causes people to act on impulse.

The emotion of fear, also a sin, causes flight.

The emotion of disgust causes repulsion.

The emotion of anger causes violence.

Instincts are reflex behavior based on emotion rather than on
thought.

We have accomplished a lot recently concerning wedding related issues. And I decided that I will post my progress on today’s entry. I am so pleased with what we have done so far. I am just now waiting for my dress to come in so I can have my first fitting. I’m expecting it come in next week, I hope! Also I believe the bridesmaids dresses are done and my cousin should be mailing it to me as soon as I send her the final payment. =)

We are learning a lot about each other from doing our pre-marital counselling with Pastor Allan. hehe, it still feels weird addressing him in that way, but I really think I should. He is marrying us after all. It’s just weird to me since we have been friends even before he was pastor.

Now onto wedding stuff!
