Getting quiet to hear God

We are in a time of judgement from the harvest we have sown. All the seeds you have sown you are reaping the harvest, and you will live in your choices for the next few years. God will cover his children, but you have to get to a place where you can hear God. Don't get distracted with everything that is going on that you don't get quiet for God.

In Jeremiah 31 it says God will come into a new covenant with his children. No more being held responsible for the sins of our ancestors. God is looking at each and every one of us as individuals but don't lose sight of being accountable of the things you pour into your children. Yes, they will have to answer to God for themselves but be mindful of the things you teach being what throws them off track.

Seek God in all you do. We can't make a decision without seeking God for instruction. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be anywhere without God. Something is coming that you will only be prepared for if you are listening daily for instruction from God. Not only you but your children and the people you are meant to help will suffer if you are not obedient.

A personal healing

One thing I have learned is you have to want the healing for yourself. I used to want to heal to be better to other people. To be a better daughter, sibling, partner, and friend. I thought if I could just be better than everything would be better. I found out the hard way that you changing doesn't make others want to change. A lot of time it makes others feel judged. I know that is not your intention it has never been mine either.

The more you grow it makes the people around you think about the things they aren't ready to change. It has nothing to do with you. Unless you are one of those people that judge people now that you are doing better. You are definitely the reason for your headache. Anyway, you have to continue to grow whether people around you are ready or not.

It has to be a personal thing. You have to be ready to leave the old you behind and embrace everything that comes with you becoming your best version. You will lose friends, will feel isolated, and sometimes feel like you are losing your mind because everyone will say it is you. You have to be ok with it because it is you.

I woke up and decided I want better for myself. I don't want trauma to be normal. I don't want to be surrounded by bad habits. I don't want to be surrounded by people that have shady jokes for me and say they are just playing. I no longer want to be around people that will put me in situations I wouldn't have myself in. I chose different for myself.

I will be the one to break the cycles for me and everyone that come from me. This journey is personal. I refuse to say I did the best I could and never sought help to do better. Sorry I couldn't take you with me.

Intergenerational Trauma

Have you ever realized you did something out of survival mode. When you look at where it came from, you see your mother or grandmother doing it? This is just a surface example of intergenerational trauma. Did you know your mother carried you when she is in her mother's womb? Crazy right, but it allows us to understand better how you can carry a pain you have no idea where it comes from.

There are somethings that are embedded in our DNA. Pain from our ancestors that we never experienced but also pain we heard and seen. We were created and raised in so much pain that we carry it because we never seen how to put it down. You have to decide that you will not allow it to be normal to give it to your children.

Don't you want your children to be able to be who they were created to be in this world without having to heal from how you raised them? I want my kids to be nourished in my womb with healthy foods, love peace, and joy. That when they enter this world, they begin to move into what God created them for. Their minds, hearts, and spirits will be whole and able to hear God. Not weighed under generations of trauma and brokenness that they have to figure out what wholeness even looks like.

It stops with me. I will do everything in my power that I don't let the trauma I was raised in touch the generation that comes from me. We have heard "I did the best I could" long enough. When I reached the best, I could do alone. I reached out for help to do better. Seek and you shall find. It is no longer ok for us to act like we don't see that what we were raised in can be detrimental to our children. We are in the time of knowledge. Whatever way works best for you reading, researching, watching videos, counseling. Just make a decision that I will no longer see trauma as normal.
