but I want control!!

August 26, 2006 at 4:33 am (Life, my existence)

For the guys back in my bible study group.. you’ll appreciate this one.. we talked about this before I skipped town. It’s all your fault dan taylor!:
seriously- how do our emotions work? how is it that it takes awhile for things to ‘die down’? before we can ‘let them go’? we could always be materialist & blame it on the physiological components, but if we believe in our soul then there’s more to it. we could generalize it’s start by saying “something happened against our will” (that we didn’t want/out of our control)
so we’re at fault for thinking it’s in our control?

Oh Father, whose sonship I deny– teach me to know what is under my control & what is within yours.

In a sense, this is learning to relax, to have fun, since we’re then free from keeping all our ducks in a row.

For us with ‘D’ personalities, who always want control.. this is an important lesson.
Aside: I wonder what are primary lessons for each personality type??
I could imagine the ‘C’ needing to learn to need ppl & to feel emotion(instead of deny it)
I could guess an ‘I’ needs to learn to CALM DOWN! ( i really have no clue– feel the weight instead of ‘blowing things off?)
& for the ‘S’, feeling the weight, also? no- they feel the weight & are crushed by it. They need to learn strength.

For those who don’t know, I’ll reference the DISC thing alot: http://www.discprofile.com/

    Right~ actually, Phil was sayin he wanted to buy it & take it. It’d kinda be fun to do a ‘group rate’ on that.. but you don’t have to pay- I already know that you’re an “SC” (oddly enough, like alot of my college friends!) & now the whole world knows ;)
