To Unload or Not To Unload

There are times in life where a good unloading of the heart and mind are in order. The first time I realized this I think I was six when I realized that Jesus Christ needed to be my Savior because there is nothing without him. The next time I remember feeling the need to unload was at my mom and dofferent ages and instead of handling myself with dignity and grace I went off on her, most likely about nothing other than what to wear the next day to school, (things were always much bigger for me back then.) Now that I am married and have a spouse to unload upon I realize that I need the grace that God has supplied. I read in a Marriage counseling book that Guys hear through "blue" hearing aids and see through "blue" sunglasses, meaning there is a male tint to everything they hear and see. Meanwhile Ladies hear through "pink" hearing aids and see through "pink" sunglasses, meaning there is a female tint to everything we hear and see. If you don't realize that the hearing aids and sunglasses are in place then unloading can become a weapon of mass destruction. If you do notice that the hearing aids and sunglasses are in place and use a measure of understanding then unloading can release pent up emotion and not destroy the fragile walls of marriage. If only we could instill in our children, teens, and men and women around society that these hearing aids and sunglasses exist even in the form of parental, sibling, spouse, co-worker, boss wouldn't society be a little more calm? Who knows but the fact of the matter is when going to unload be sure that you are using the grace God has given you before doing so. Did you also know that unloading does not always mean fighting. I need to go daily and unload at the cross of Christ. I need to unload the sin that so easily entangles. The things I do not want to do I do, and the things I want to do I do not, thank you Apostle Paul for being so forthright, thank you God for leading Paul to write out your word. I find that if I do not unload my sinful nature it rears its ugly head at all the wrong times. I get irritated about my daughter's potty training and take it out on someone else. I want to be included in things but not overwhelmed by them. I want to have a day where I get to do everything that I want to do, woah selfish ugly monster rearing its ugly head beware,beware. Sometimes unloading can just be random blogging so that you have someone to talk with when its raining out side and the people you most want to see and talk with live in different states. Yes you know who I am talking about, I am talking to you! Sometimes unloading can also be a way to express a happy emotion that your friend whose husband has been in Iraq for the last year has now come home and you can not being to let them know how happy you are for them and that you pray their transition will go smoothly, and hope she found just the right pair of jeans!
