Insight Through Hindsight

Chris deals with his anger at God

Recently, I was in a counseling session and was talking to my counselor about being angry at God. We talked it over and at the end of the session, she asked me what it would look like if I were to journal about the issue in my cartoon style. The thought intrigued me, so she gave that assignment to me. I don't think the results are going to clear up my anger, but I was pleased with what I drew. I've decided to break my own rule and post these entries from my personal journal for you to see. You need to realize that this is just an exploration and it really doesn't answer the questions I have about my anger. I'll post this series over a number of days.

I'm still alive!

It's been months since I've posted anything to my blog. I'm sorry for that, especially for those of you who keep checking to see if I have. I wouldn't be surprised if many of you have just given up. To explain, I find it hard to do anything for my blog if I'm dealing with other major stuff in my life and that's exactly what's been going on. I feel as though I'm in a major growth period right now, so I just don't have the energy to devote to drawing my cartoons. I'm not going to go into what's going on, but take comfort in the fact that although it's been hard for me, it's been really good. I've gone back to my counselor to deal with some of it and I just about overwhelmed her this last week with what had happened in the two weeks previously. I'm doing some major work on the very essence of who I am and how I view myself. The good news for you is that my counselor gave me an assignment to journal in my cartoon style on one of the issues I'm looking at. I did about ten panels and I've decided that I am going to post them to my blog. First, I want to finish the topic I was working on two months ago, then I'll start the new series. So my promise to you is that I'll post a new panel tomorrow and start following it shortly with a new subject. if you're so inclined, please pray for me as I work through my view of myself and start moving toward a more realistic acceptance of myself. Thanks for your patience and your friendship.
