What do I mean? I'm glad you asked. This last week something happened and I was triggered. (yup, transparent moment!) It was bad, and it destroyed my whole mood, and I immediately retreated into a mental funk. I let my emotions get the best of me, but there is light at the end of this tunnel, and I hope you can glean the lesson. Once I calmed down and regulated my emotions, I heard the Holy Spirit say, " you are triggered because this is the area that I want to free you" It wasn't a surprise just another reminder that I had not let God into that area. So, I surrendered. I prayed, I told God, I give it to Him, and I really have. Here's the lesson, well, mostly a reminder. God speaks in our situations and circumstances. If we will regulate our emotions AKA, get out of your feelings, and allow Him to show you what is really going on. Often times it's not about the situation, often times it's about what the situation is trying to teach you. So, today, stop for a moment, and evaluate what's been going on in your world lately because iI guarantee that God is speaking. How can you be more present to the spirit of God speaking into your life this week? What are somethings you do to make sure you are in tune and listening to the voice of God?
