Welling up inside by Bruce Wadd
“NO! You’re bound to injure or kill yourself… you don’t need to do this… what’s an old man like you doing this kind of stupid stuff… ” The mind kept spewing out all the arguments and reasons why not.
But my male ego, and my wonderful adventurous son, encouraged me to take the plunge!
Have you ever been in a situation, and been overwhelmed by the rush of thoughts and emotions, particularly fear? Surprised by their intensity and lack of logic?
Both you and I are human, and emotion is part of living. All I wanted to do today is share a little of what I have learnt about emotion, living with and handling it OK, particularly if you are a deeply emotional person like myself.
Jesus said,
“When the Holy Spirit, who is truth, comes, He shall guide you into all truth…” John 16:13a
TODAY, allow the Holy Spirit to take charge… even when jumping off cliffs!

I
stood chatting to my son as the fear and doubt ‘volcanoed’ within me.
Jumping into the lake within the old quarry sounded simple and fun, but
when faced with the reality of a fifteen-meter plummet, the heart and the
mind were screaming all sorts of things.
