Sometimes emotions are something that's hard to understand. It runs wild at times when we least expect it to and when that happens it's just so easy to get into the 'self pity' mode.
Wonder why I mentioned about emotions? Well, guess I'm learning to bring it under control, just like a cowboy reining in a wild horse.
Today was a really great day. From the start, meeting up Kenneth & Eric early in the morning to get stuff for Wee Liem's b'day to an expensive 'chap fan' lunch (eesh, kena conned by the chap fan rice uncle). It was followed by shopping in Tesco, cleaning the house, marinating the food and then waiting for everyone to arrive for the BBQ party to start.
BBQ was a blast with crazy kodak moments with Kenneth, Charis, Mel, Kae Ee and Wee Liem doing crazy shots on our digital cameras. Some we later bombed Wee Liem with flour, water, tomato ketchup and bee hoon, leaving us with a big mess to clear up.
But somehow, the emotions button clicked halfway through and though I tried my best, everything seemed to go down the drain then. (Ah, I should just blame it on the lack of glucose, heh) And there I was, smiling when turmoil seem to run through the emotions.
Someone mentioned afterwards that talking about it would be good. But somehow, somethings are better left unsaid, unheard of and kept in the heart. After all, it might give a bad outcome if it's out.
Just at times, we're faced with an option when our emotions run wild. Do we numb it with all our games, studies, movies and everything else? Or do we bring it and lay it upon the cross? All our hurts, broken hopes, broken dreams and pain.
It's always easier to numb it, but bringing it to God helps us grow in Christ. God help me go through less of these storms and tornadoes of life~
God Bless
