The day was going so well, the sun was shining, I was accomplishing my morning goals and whammy, out of left field, that person called me and said the most unkind thing. I knew that saying something wasn't going to accomplish anything because she always has an excuse or defense for bad behavior. I quickly ended the call and even though I was practicing good boundaries and needed to answer the call because of a church obligation, there I was left with "hurt" feelings.
Maybe that has happened to you. Sudden mood changes brought on by people, situations or minor annoyances. Does it really help to say your not alone? Probably not, you've heard that before from ministry blogs and well meaning friends. Maybe what you really need is a "paradigm shift".
After all, can anyone or anything really hurt our feelings or is it the lens of our own beliefs that are holding us captive? Beliefs like, "I deserved that...", "I'm flawed" or "Is God really trustworthy?", "will God really provide for me or do I need to do it myself and have that affair with that man with momey?" And by the way, when and where did I first ingest this lie, duh? Help me God!
The next time a sense of uneasiness, emptiness, woundedness hits your emotional fan, instead of running to the frig, the store, the phone (all solution behaviors) or worse, do you have the courage to position yourself to allow the Holy Spirit to bring life freeing truth to your heart and persuade you of the truth? Beyond the millions of bible studies and sermons you have heard where the truth is only received intellectually, are you ready for that same truth on a deeper renovation of the heart level?
My goodness, what are we waiting for? This September I will be training women in Transformation Prayer Ministry where the Positioning, Principles and Process are explored together in a safe intimate setting with a group or one on one if you prefer. It's time, we have wasted our pain long enough.
The registration fee is only $50.00. Feel free to email me to reserve your spot. Schedules are flexible for one on one training and session. Group class will be Saturday mornings on Zoom starting the 4th Saturday of the month. Laurenblackburncoach@gmail.com
