Emotions, Emotions, Emotions

Emotions, Emotions, Emotions! Women are filled with emotions. It does not take a medical degree or a long-term case study with women to come to the conclusion women are filled with emotions. End of discussion.

Or is it?

Serving God within the realms of ministry ( ie church, missions, state offices, etc) can give way to many an opportunity for our emotions as women to show their true colors. Joy, happiness, excitement, anxiety, stress, anger and even bitterness can seep out of our facial expressions, our words and even our actions. Is there anything wrong with that?

I mean, c'mon if God created us as women made up of emotions then shouldn't we be allowed to let our true colors shine?

Over the next few entries we will look at these emotions in light of God's Word. Is God pleased when our emotions of happiness are shining through while our heart is filled with hurt and pain? Does it honor God to allow bitterness to take root in our hearts?

Emotions.

One word filled with one mighty punch.
