It's a Roller Coaster!

Managing the Emotional Ups and Downs of Life

Life can be an emotional roller coaster- with the ups and downs even daily. Sometimes we don’t think of emotions in a positive way. We hear, “Don’t be so emotional!” At the same time, these days you hear a lot about “emotional intelligence,” and the ability to understand and manage our emotions. We are both thinking and emotional beings, and we’re better people when we are in touch with our emotions. Jesus clearly had emotions, and we’re going to learn from him and from other Scriptures important ways to mange the ups and downs with grace and confidence.
