How Much Yelling is Too Much?

November 20, 2019 by erikarachelleanderson in Parenting

Moms. Dads. Caregivers. We all yell. And if we are at all aware of emotion and its power, we all have felt guilty about it. Monthly. Weekly. Me: daily. I’ve

I carried her all the way up the hill. 163 steps.

I carried her all the way up the hill. 163 steps. And she was still exhausted. Maybe she felt herself moving and knew how much effort it was taking. Maybe she felt my sweaty back in the mid-day sun. I was struck. I couldn’t help but think of me, how I am with God. I know there is movement forward, upwards. I feel tired from the heat, from the climb. But really it’s a good father who is doing all the heavy lifting. And he even lets me rest facedown, exhausted, while I get used to a new altitude that’s up and out of the shadowy places. #thankfilledlife #cultureandjesus #jesusandtherapy #mentalhealthadvocate #churchandmentalhealth #attachedtoagoodfather #attachedtodivinelove #christianwriter #faithblog #faithblogger

“I wasn’t afraid to jump or to swim or to feel

“I wasn’t afraid to jump or to swim or to feel the sudden coolness of the water. I was afraid of change. On the dock I was warm and dry and in control... I thought about that, then, about how much I fear change, even change for the better. I thought about how there are so many lies in fear. So much deception. What else keeps us from living a better story than fear?” - Donald Miller #thankfilledlife #bookstagram #bookstack #donaldmiller #donaldmillerquotes #relationalintelligence #cultureandjesus #healingattachmentwounds #attachmentwounds #christianwriter #faithblogger

I asked a hypothetical question: if I were fashionable, what would I wear? And then we scrolled through Pinterest. This is what was chosen.

Jaguar Girl showed up at bedtime today with the message that Liv would be back at sunrise. I thanked Jaguar Girl for the night off, asked her to pass on the message that Liv disobeyed by leaving the house without permission, and that I’ll be downstairs eating ice cream.

The end goal is always justness. Reconciliation - both vertical and horizontal. It sometimes seems so long in coming. Those are the days I need to remember that God is working toward these same things, but unlike me, never gets discouraged. #thankfilledlife #cultureandjesus #chasingtruth #jesus #reconciliation #hope #justice #jesusandcoffee #generationalhealing #christianwriter #faithblog #faithblogger

Posted @withregram • @havilahcunnington Have you

Posted @withregram • @havilahcunnington Have you ever heard of something called an iCloud? Apple created it to help store all our photos, files, notes, & more across all our devices. It syncs everything together so all the devices have access to the same information.

🖐🏻INTEGRITY IS HAVING YOUR BELIEFS, ATTITUDES, AND CHOICES, ALL SYNC TOGETHER.

It’s when all the places on the inside of us begin to tell the same story & believe the same thing.

All our choices point to the truth in the deepest part of us.

💔I love the meaning of integrity. It simply means the state of being whole and undivided.

When I’m not honest with myself.
When I don’t tell those in my life the truth.
When I try to hide things in my relationship with God, I live a very divided life.
I live in conflict.
I’m not living a whole life.

I’m trying to live one way, but my choices don’t match up to my belief system. My energy is given to trying to create a picture of a perfect life in my head, rather than having the courage to live a wide-open & honest life.

Life gets so much easier when I refuse to lie to myself or deceive others.

When I practice full disclosure with God, I open myself up to His help.

I’m not wasting my time managing what others perceive.
My energy isn’t being used trying to unlock what others may have heard or think about me.
My life is synced in every area.
📖I’m an open book, ready to be read by the world around me.

Have you ever thought of integrity like this? Anyone else challenged too?

It isn’t wisdom to be blindly passive. Discernin

It isn’t wisdom to be blindly passive. Discerning thought and action requires knowing truth and sticking to it. But all the while not forsaking compassion. Perception in one hand, peace in the other. How would conflict change if we did this? Or individual opinion? Or social justice? Or relational boundaries? #thankfilledlife #cultureandjesus #chasingtruth #pursuingtruth #womenoftheword #womensbiblestudy #jesusandtherapy #reconciliation #relationshipgoals #hope #wisdom #gospel #readthebible #discernment #christianblogger #christianbloggers #faithblog
