I recognize that is it is difficult for you to restrain yourself from losing control when things do not go your way or when someone says things to hurt you. Your natural response is to have an emotional outburst and then you will say things that should not be said. You forget then that you are a new creature in Me. You have a new nature. Remember this always and operate in your new nature instead of the old man that often wants to have his own way.
Self-control is one of My fruits and you can grow and develop in this fruit as you yield to My Holy Spirit. I sent Him to help you to know when to speak and when not to speak. You do have to give My Spirit time to speak to your heart. You can easily yield to His presence within you when you train yourself to respond to people rather than react to them. When someone offends you or when you cannot have your way, stay silent for a few minutes and give My Spirit time to instruct you on the way you should respond.
It is My delight when I see you operating in My fruits moment by moment. This will happen more and more in your life when you take a few minutes in silence before blurting out quick reactionary words.

SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING
Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.
My Blog will cover three subjects:
WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.
WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.
At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.
FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.
MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -

I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.
