You know it might be easier for me if more people were trying to control me, but I live with very loving and understanding people and go to a pretty non judgmental church. It's really my mind that drives me crazy
I think I have a problem with knowing if it is the Holy Spirit's conviction or my own irrational guilt. Because my thoughts were controlled, my movements limited, my emotions and outward manifestations of spirituality judged in my developmental years, I've had a hard time with this grown up world. I ca n get total acceptance from everyone around me and still feel miserable. Jerry, it seems to me that you are saying not to go by your feelings, but I've done that and ignored them too long. (By the way, I appreciate all of your feedback.). Any other thoughts? Anyone want to switch brains?
