14d • THE PROVING GROUND
Protector patterns
I’ve known this for quite some time, but the part of me that is trying to protect me, trying to make things better is definitely the fixer in me. I’m an engineer, fixing problems and issues is literally what I do. So this part of me has always gotten in the way of making sure my wife feels heard and understood. Unfortunately as soon as something ever got brought up, I immediately went into fixer mode.
This program has helped me see that. I was always in a hurry to fix what was wrong, instead of being a solid, grounded container for my wife to release into. I see that clear as day now, and although it hasn’t been easy, I’m getting better at just being steady, truly listening to her, and not trying to fix anything unless she asks. This is incredibly difficult, especially with the issues we are still having. But I feel like God is teaching me patience and how to fully and completely submit to His plan for my life.
