Trauma ignored still exists…denial takes up energy

Too many of us are asked every day (directly or not) to keep moving despite deep emotional wounds

Healing takes time

Without Christ, self help only lasts so long

Even in Christ, too many are asked (directly or not) to be immediately happy because of Phillipians 4:13

Except who is to determine how and when Luke 3:4-6 (& other verses)will happen?

I mean, a mountain brought low? A valley filled in?

Wow, a neglected verse for sure.

As an example…we may look like everything is wonderful or okay even…how can we be when we are never allowed to be otherwise?

When a limit is placed on it (Black Woman is your strength. We know emotion better than anyone. You cannot clear trauma without going through it, recognizing it, mourning and forgiveness (for yourself and the ones who…)

The forgiveness part…

Is the hardest part

The free-ing part…

To forgive those who have sexually abused children for instance …

Currently immersed in dealing with those abused as toddlers…

As adults still …

In other words

They grew up and still doing each other

Consensual?

Why Lord? Do you have me experience this?!

(After obedience comes understanding

It goes without saying that obedience to God’s Word is impossible for those who are unaware of what it has to say. Aside from the basic law of God which is written in the heart (Rom. 2:15), the “special revelation” from God that is found in Scripture must be intentionally studied before it can be obeyed (Rom. 10:14-17). —-Simply put, conformity to the image of Christ does not happen by accident; it is always the result of the Holy Spirit’s work in the life of a believer (Gal. 5:22-23), as well as the believer’s own diligence in studying the Word of God and doing his best to be a doer of the Word, and not a hearer only (Jam. 1:22).—— I believe this principle of knowledge preceding obedience goes a long way in explaining our culture’s obvious downward spiral into sin, and its general disinterest in spiritual things. To put it bluntly, most Americans are Biblically illiterate.

And knowledge comes before understanding of it, before obedience! (According to the above link!) (and my experience!)

Because The Holy Spirit has lead me to books, movies, the internet even! And experiences (people) that many Christians would not agree with

No book or movie He has led me to have I wanted to avoid like with certain people, He wants me to interact with

Yet, I have learned resistance is futile AND! The urgings/commands, etc get…less…’adversarial’? With more obedience! 😊

Now! I am literally seeing the code in everything! I see the lines of code just laying there!

And i see He is urging me to pick the lines of code up!

What do you want me to do with them Lord?

(You have no idea how many interruptions and distractions have come just to type this!)

To have the ability to see the mathematics of everything?!

To be able to hold them in my hands?! 😮😲🤯

To get past that?

To get past what I could do with that?!

Is the next…step?…trap? Transformation!
