This has only happened on very few occasions but I have to say I've seen a pattern in how I've reacted. The first instinct I have is to almost "shut down." By this I mean that (at first) I don't say anything about it. I really don't have much to say at all. This is not like me (I know, I know - that's a shock ). Seriously, when I have very little to say in the way of conversation, Master knows that this generally means things are not as they should be with me. I mean, since I'm angry and I can't just come out and point blank express that anger (or at least I can't do it in a calm, acceptable manner), I just try not to say anything much at all so my anger won't seep through. So, when He sees I'm not talking like I usually do, He asks. Even if I try to act like all is well or deny that anything is bothering me, it's only a matter of (a very short) time until He knows better and insists on knowing what is bothering me. I know, at that point, that I have permission to speak freely so I do. Once I've expressed my anger (and I am never disrespectful in doing so), then we talk about it. Now this does not necessarily mean that anything is going to change to suit me, of course, but that's His decision to make. It goes back to what I've said over and over here about Him considering it disobedient to not tell Him about anything that's bothering me. He would much rather me express anger about something and thereby be honest and open with Him than have me keep it bottled up and seem happy but thereby be dishonest. His philosophy is that He can deal with what He knows about but can't with something (even feelings of anger) that are kept hidden..........slave luci
