Feelings of Emotion.

Explaining emotion is a difficult thing to do, I've noticed when I'm in a conversation and I end up trying to explain my feeling towards something, I usually end up saying, "it's like, ahhhh!" or, "it's like ughhhh", or "it's like oh my gaaaash" and such... I'm pretty horrible at that...I feel bad for the people who hear me talk about what's happening in my life, one being my discipler (whose birthday happens to be today. Happy birthday Mariel!) and other sisters that I share things with. However, I love the very common, "I know how you feel", makes me feel a little less weird, and more average.

Currently, I have a plethora of emotions in my mind for various things going on and it is causing my mind to be all over the place. I have feelings of guilt, discourage, hunger, disappointment, cautious, motivation, and joy all over the place. I probably have more, I just can't explain it in words hahaha.I'm glad to know that all these feelings are based off my understanding of Scripture. ie: I am able to feel guilty because I am aware that I committed sin and have disobeyed God or I am able to feel joyful since my sins have been forgiven by the shed blood of Christ and joy because of my love for the Church! Also loving the Church in a way that causes you to have these feelings towards other brothers and sisters in-Christ makes you want to know more Scripture for the purpose of edification and building up the Church. In the end I just want to give God the glory for sanctifying me and continually molding me onto the image of His Son and for the renewing of my mind, thus my emotions derived from Scripture.
