Why Does This Still Happen?
She didnāt mean to snap. It came out sharper than she intended, a small edge in her voice during a conversation that didnāt require it. Later, while rinsing a mug at the sink, she replayed it and felt that familiar drop in her stomach. Why does that still happen? The Scripture is clear. The Spirit lives within. The fruit is already given. Peace isnāt something to earn. Joy isnāt something to manufacture. Strength isnāt something to prove. And yet when pressure rises, something tightens before peace has a chance to speak. The tightening doesnāt look dramatic. It looks responsible. It looks like staying on top of things. It looks like carrying what needs to be carried. But afterward thereās that quiet exhaustion. Not from work, but from bracing. Mary energy feels different. It doesnāt retreat from responsibility. It simply doesnāt harden while carrying it. It trusts what is already settled. It moves without the edge. The Feb 13 Quiet Time steps gently into that space. Jesus speaks about wolves without strain in His voice. He names opposition without sounding threatened. He anchors identity before reaction has a chance to form. That steadiness is not theoretical. Itās meant to live in the jaw, the chest, the tone of voice. Iāve included the full Feb 13 Quiet Time video, along with the complete audio and printable Reflection & Journal, so you can experience that rhythm for yourself. These are shared daily inside Kingdom Identity Network for steady growth alongside our monthly Heart Healing and Breakthrough Classes. And this Tuesday, Feb 17, our next class creates space to release what has quietly hardened over time ~ the self-criticism, the over-carrying, the subtle shame ~ and to receive something far more accurate: compassion, equipping, surrender and being deeply cherished. Not as ideas. As alignment. If that feels timely, begin with the Quiet Time and then step into the deeper work with us.
