Have you ever had a moment when you felt a divine touch as if God reached into your soul and healed it instantly? It's that moment when you realize it's what you've been waiting for, even though you may have started to doubt if it would ever come. The peace that washes over you in that instant stays with you throughout the day, and you're reluctant to do or say anything that might disrupt the serene atmosphere of bliss and tranquility. It seems everything would begin to be different and better from that moment on.

This past weekend I received this moment, and my God was it life-changing in my soul. For the next few days, the bliss and peace carried me as if it was rocking me as I walked through my day, both mentally and emotionally. I felt a clarity I hadn't experienced for such a long time. 

And then…

That moment when your soul is hit in a spot where you are sensitive, especially to those who are close to you. You know that spot in your soul where the devil uses the people you love more than anything to jab the knife, turn it, and wiggle it. Yea, right there. That spot is sensitive to your children, perhaps your lover, your husband, your mom, etc.  Just when you believe things would be better, you find yourself on the floor in your own tears flowing from a deep, hollow place and all the bliss and peace from your last moment in God's arms seems to have disappeared.

I say those close to you because if it was from a stranger, it wouldn’t mean as much right?  It could possibly be ignored if it was a stranger, but love can feel like a dagger put in the right context and from the right person to your soul.

I feel you…

I’m there with you…

I have no shame in telling you that all of this is me right now. 

I have been saying for a while that I needed to get away and have a change of scenery. I’m grateful that I have already planned a night away this weekend in order to be quiet with God. This puddle under my chin from my own tears, must be addressed. My tears are signaling to me that my soul needs to be heard and “I’m listening.”

I really feel tired but I know when I get to a place like this if I can push and not resist what is coming up, I can get to the other side of it. It also means God led me here because it is time to heal it. Let’s be honest, “I need to get to the other side of it because it has been there too long. My soul has a wound that if I don’t face it, it will suffocate me and cause me to abort the spiritual baby God has awakened in me on the day His love touched my soul just a few days ago.

A few hours ago, I couldn’t see myself getting to this moment or even sharing this message here. I know my calling and I accept the assignment of being vulnerable and transparent and giving myself permission to expose the enemy of my soul and share so it can help you.

Our soul (mind, will, emotions) is the essence of who we are. It is the part of us where we hide, come alive, embrace, release, and receive. At least that’s what it is to me. What is tucked away there doesn’t die, it simply goes dormant sometimes until God has been given access to it to touch it, awaken it, and say, “For such a time as this, you must trust me with this too.” His touch in that soft space can feel like the first moment the dagger went in and turned. This time when the touch comes, you must be willing and obedient to “Trust Him with this too.”

I’m listening to my soul. The timing of planning a night away to an unfamiliar place will give me the space to hear and listen to the cry of my soul and release, embrace, reveal, receive, and come back better… free.

Are you listening to the cry of your soul or have you been ignoring it and packing it away for a later time? Is your life currently saying to you that something is out of alignment? Your soul has a sound and it can be as gentle as your tears flowing.

 It is not easy to deal with trauma or the cute word, the “past.” It is tiring to heal in one moment to only awaken something even deeper a few days later. Yet, If you are brave enough, not strong enough, to allow God to touch the space that seems fragile and tender, give Him access to the key you used to lock yourself away, and in this moment, “Trust Him With It,” I believe you can overcome it. It’s been there too long. It’s been defining you for too long. It’s been a tool and weapon the enemy uses at his leisure to bring you into submission. Aren’t you tired? I Am

It’s time to still away and …Listen

You are not alone and you are not on an island to yourself even when it feels like you are.

 You don’t have to remain tender

  Trust Him With This Too…

Your soul is crying out. Give yourself permission to Listen In and hear the message.
