I was in Sojo, Session 6, and even though I don't know a lot of the people posting on this blog, I love what they have to say about different passages! I'll read a verse and be completely confused by it, but someone who understood it posts what they think on this blog, and the message really becomes clear.
This past week I was at a volleyball camp with my team, and there was one girl on my team who can be a tad on the frustrating/annoying side. At one point I just wanted to snap at her, but then a few verses from Proverbs came to my mind, and really helped me conquer the anger.
"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." -Proverbs 12:18
"He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin." -Proverbs 13:3
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." -Proverbs 15:1
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered." -Proverbs 17:27
I was so glad God put these verses in my head, or I would have said something I definately would have regretted later.
Thank you counselors for setting up this blog!
Love, Paige H.
