I think you find these and are touched by them and want to pay them forward, BUT do you know you always post just what I'm needing when I need it? Thank you!

It's not really accurate. Venting is not about seeking sympathy but releasing pent up negative emotions. Proven to be emotionally and psychologically healthy and related to healing in those areas.
Not to mention the bible itself encourages it...
Galatians 6:2
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
You can't share each others burdens without telling others.

You often challenge my thoughts, that I appreciate. I do think venting and sharing are healthy with one another, and believe me I do it plenty. I do believe, though, our number one source of sharing and venting should be to the Lord. I just have spent some down seasons venting and sharing with others, which is good. And not necessarily for pity or sympathy, just need to talk it out and get some insight. However, I needed to spend more time on my knees calling to God, not keep looking at it. Have you heard that quote...a wound can not heal if you keep picking at it. So when i saw this, I thought it was powerful for me to remember. I'd hate to think someone would not feel ok about reaching out and talking to a safe brother or sister, because that is very different than what i think this post addresses. Hey sub...I like that you speak out because you are also willing to listen too. Seriously, I appreciate your directness, most of the time, lol.
