Do you ever do something that’s just amazingly stupid?
I do. Almost routinely.
My most recent escapade into stupidity was at the expense of some of the dearest people in my life.
I cannot un-say what I said. And what I said was not the intent of my heart … it was the voice of fear, uncertainty, and stress.
Living in a state of stress, fueled by fear is not a life that I want to live. But right now, that is where I find myself.
Praying about it. Not seeing much response from above. Maybe I’m not supposed to see much response. Maybe I’m supposed to walk more by faith than sight. Easier to preach it than to walk it.

I know the feeling and I think probably most of us do. I’m offering a pray for the situation today.
Peace.
Unfortunately I know this feeling all too well!! Sending up a prayer.
Greg, unfortunately, I get that feeling all too often.
Regularly and with great gusto.
It happens. Don’t beat yourself up, but try to learn.
Stupidity, thou art a human! We’ve all been there, my friend. I regularly make journeys into stupidity and my forehead stays sore from slapping it and saying, “Duhhhh!” Sometimes I writhe in embarrassment when I look back on these times……….so I don’t look back.
I’m praying about your situation, too. Much love.
May God bless you when as you taught me in ‘conflict resolution,” someone must do the unusual and make the first move. Isn’t it no wonder that Paul wrote what he wrote in Rom. 7 concerning knowing what not to do and then doing it any way.
It kills me when I enter that world of ” I know better” and then do it any way. Praying for all of you Bro.
Not only do I regularly do amazingly stupid things … but I often confess them on my blog … that makes me even dumber. Like telling 1000 people, including my church a dirty joke (that I didn’t fully understand)
Sheesh
I spent the week apologizing to some of the people closest to me in my life for stupid words. Welcome to the club bro. We can work hard together to avoid future repeats.
I have been in a stress desert since about June of last year. In the desert, faith must win. I can only lean on God. He is all I have. I will pray for you to get some answers. Pray form me to do the same.
A friend of mine told me, “God will take you places that you would never go yourself.” I believe that He allows us these situations to help us in some way. Listen for His voice.
I can be amazingly stupid sometimes, myself. Probably MOST of the time, if I’d be totally honest. You are not alone in that area of life.
Sorry you’re in the middle of this mess, Greg, even if part of it may have been your “fault.” Will pray with you that you can, with God’s help, work it all out.

Color me guilty! I have eaten my fair share of crow, and it never tastes good or feels good. Praying for you brother.
