Okay, so I didn't name the first one part 1 really, but after looking at it again, I realized there is so much missing. So here is the second part of it.
I have problems like everyone else. Some are painful things from the past that don't just shake off very easily. I have asked myself (as some people have indicated) if I am just being to sensitive about it. The answer is "no". It was a real hurt and I needed to take care of it.
This reminds me of a story. I was working one day with a friend who spilled some grease on his foot. The boss told him to hurry up and take care of it so he could keep working. He didn't take care of it till that evening. The grease had gone right through his shoe and burned his toe. The next day he had to go to the hospital to have part of his toe taken off due to gangrene. I know this is gross, but the truth is, if he had taken care of his foot right when he hurt it, he would have been in better shape.
God is the healer of all things. We try to put the ole "if it's God's will" spin on these things, but I'm sure that when you go to the alter and pray for God to come into your life that you don't question if it's His will or not. God's grace is sufficient for you. Today, God wants to heal you. You might ask what you have to do. Most of the time, you just let him. The next step will be given, but the first thing is a total surrender to Him. Don't wait for an invitation or things to be just right, because they never will be. Then tell someone. The pain inside is not something you can keep hiding and letting it gets worse only makes things harder.

Pain receptors
What is it about pain that we don't like so much? Pain is something that is natural and is put into our body to know if there is something wrong. I have known people that have a problem because their pain receptors aren't working correctly. For some people these days it causes them to make everything painful. Just touching them can hurt them.
I have also known someone that they didn't feel pain very much. What was so wrong with that you might ask. He went in complaining of a stomach ache one day. Immediately his parents got him in the car and took him to the hospital for the fact that they knew he had such a high threshold for pain. Turned out, he was having an appendicitis (his appendix where about to burst).
So many times we wish we didn't feel pain, but it's part of life and it's a sign that something is wrong. If your feeling pain, whether it's emotional or physical, try figuring out what is causing the pain before just masking it. Is your pain receptors working correctly? If they are, then seek the problem and what it takes to solve them. So many times we are just covering up the problem instead of facing it.

Begin again
WOW! It's been a long time since I posted anything. Let me know if you read this and what you think.
Today is a new day. A couple of weeks ago, we started a new year. It's always exciting and we think of how we would like to change things every year. Many times we start out good, but it doesn't take long and making the change doesn't happen like we wanted it to so many times. Here's why and it's a problem we all have. We want everything to change quickly. I think the best way to see things really change is to make it one small step at a time. Make the big change a target and make a small step plan to get there. Sometimes it has be micro steps. The Bible says to not be weary in well doing for we will reap if we don't give up (Galatians 6:8). If you realize that the steps your taking aren't taking you the right direction, change course. The worst thing we can do is see the ice burg and keep heading for it. So what are you doing today that will change things tomorrow, and be a treasure that will last for eternity?
