However, as a child I was more introverted and not expressive with my emotions. As I got older my extroverted side came out. However, I am the type to hold all in and then blow and I do hate that and feel guilty. Because, I am desparately trying to show Christ in a good manner. And, I do hate yelling, screaming or getting to that point. So, I too have been praying and reading my word. And, I too came across the versus "Be angry and sin not". So, now I too vent. I vent in my journals or out right talk to God. And, I do feel better. And, after doing that I do feel like a can manage the situation a hand a better. ANd, sometimes I take a time out for myself or I count down. I want to be better at controlling my emotions because mostly I have a daughter who is watching me and she too will be a mother someday and I want to teach her how to handle situations in a calming manner. I now tell my children the same thing "Be angry and sin not". They repeat and tell them that it is okay to be angry but do not act it out in a ugly way. Instead, talk about why you are angry and pray. I too can relate. However, as a child I was more introverted and not expressive with my emotions. As I got older my extroverted side came out.

Heck, passion is emotional and it motivates! I believe that we can be emotional without being disrespectful. I think the disrespect comes in when we attempt to make the other person feel as scared, sad, angry, as we are and then we feel guilty for what we just put the other person through by using our emotions to accomplish making them feel bad.
