Emotional Adrenaline

When someone has a car accident they’re flooded with so much adrenaline that they can continue functioning physically even when their injuries would say otherwise.

Then, as the adrenaline wears off, all the injuries take front stage and overdue pain overwhelms.

Well.

That’s how I feel.

Painful years morphed my emotions into survival adrenaline.

And now, two mountain ranges later, the adrenaline is subsiding.

They’re thawing slowly, but thawed emotions still sting.

Thankfully God wastes nothing … even my big feelings.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” Romans 8:18-19
