The peace obedience brings

This week has been a test for me. It seems like things had been laying dormant in my family for years was showing itself this week. I got calls from everyone and because I am an empath I just want to make it right. I cried with and for them. My first response was to get up and try to be there.

My husband was here. With the first couple of calls. I told him I wanted to get on the road but I would wait until tomorrow. He told me not to let it ruin my day. He asked me what I could change. I told him nothing but me showing up for them would at least make them feel better in the moment. He told me don't bring whatever you experience back here.

It made me sit and think about how I was going to be heavier from making them feel better. That I unintentionally take in all the bad feelings and carry them. How it impacts who I am and who I should be. I sat with that all day. I talked to God and I knew I shouldn't go. I felt such a peace. I have been the peacemaker in my family for so long that it came second nature. It was time to make sure I put the peace in my home first.

I did still call and check on everybody but to let them handle it. How they would've whether I came or not felt good. I had a great day and got to do what I needed to get done. I just mad a video saying the things I wanted to do, often got in the way of the thing I needed to do. Yesterday was a perfect example of me prioritizing my needs.
