"Praise Be To The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Has Blessed Us In The Heavenly Realms With Every Spiritual Blessing In Christ."
Anything can set off an emotional trigger...Your day can be sailing along smooth as silk and something can come along and punch you in the throat...
A scent caught on the wind, taking you back in time to a more pleasant memory...
An unexpected dream filled with someone who shouldn't be welcome in your dreams...
An old piece of clothing found while cleaning...
A photograph taken years ago filled with smiles and massive amounts of expectations...
Panic will set in...Not necessarily a panic attack, however that could happen as well...
Your day, which moments ago was going along wonderfully, has now started to crack...
It starts as a spiderweb crack, like you get in a windshield when a pebble hits your glass...
If allowed, the crack will splinter off into numerous other cracks and before you know it, you are faced with a shattered windshield...
Now it has to be removed because you didn't take care of it at the first sign of trouble...
Now you are left with a pile of broken glass and you have to tread carefully or you will get cut...You will try to step over it, however there are to many pieces...
So you begin the journey over broken glass...
Some pieces are bigger then others...
The cuts from those pieces hurt the worst...
Other, smaller pieces may not cut as deep, however the pain is still there...
Next comes the task of repairing the glass...By this time on your journey you may have different tools to fix the damage...
Maybe not, depending on you as a person...
This isn't a job someone else can do for you...
Yes, you can be guided in which pieces to pick up first, however ultimately it is your job to fix the damage...
This is different then puzzle pieces...With the puzzle, you choose which pieces to put back and which ones to discard...
With the glass, all pieces have to go back together in order for you to heal...
A puzzle can be made to fit, glass, however can't unless you are making a mosaic out of your emotions...
This process can repeat itself every few days, every day or depending on your journey every few hours...It isn't pleasant...
It is almost as painful as the journey itself...
Why?
Because each time that glass shatters you are opening up new wounds...
Why?
Because you haven't put them back together the way they are meant to be.
Why?
Because you didn't learn the lesson the first time...
Each time this happens, you need to take the time and learn from it.
You can't expect something that worked in the old to work in the new...
You have to find new ways to fill the cracks in...
Each time your emotions are triggered, you have to stop and take the time to repair the damage the right way...
If not, you will continue to walk on broken glass.
