One thing I’ve learned throughout this journey of healing is that sometimes you just have to trust your own intuition and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help you walk it out.
What comforts one person may not help another, and that’s ok. Your needs and feelings are valid throughout the process of finding your joy again.
Last week I felt a STRONG desire to go to the ocean and spend some time with God. The only downfall? We don’t live at the beach. In fact, the closest one is about 4 hours away…but, I expressed this urge to my husband and him being the amazingly supportive guy that he is said “let’s just go”. We decided although we only had a 24 hour window to make it happen, we should just take a step of faith and trust that God is leading us there for a reason.
I prayed that the time we had would almost pass in slow motion so that we could truly get out of this trip all that we needed. And you know what? God delivered. This trip was so intentional, so restoring and just allowed a certain peace to come over us that we deeply needed.
We did SO much in the mere 24 hours that we were there, yet it never felt rushed. We had quality time together, time to explore, quiet time with God…it was exactly what we needed.
My point in sharing all of this is…
It’s really important to trust the Lord when you feel he’s nudging you in a certain direction. Even through something as simple as a quick trip, he used it to restore a piece of our heart. He can do the same for you, my friend. If you feel led to something…pray about it. Don’t just flippantly move on to the next thing. Slow down. Take it in. Get clarity about whatever it is so that you can catch what God’s trying to do through you.
Blessings & Love,
