Tonight I was in a meeting for Church and read this phrase:
Be open to the Holy Spirit teaching and disturbing us so we can grow
I really like something about this. I have learned to work through my story and walk with others in their stories, and often being disturbed or disrupted is a pathway to growth.
From my experience, when I have been disturbed by the Holy Spirit, I don’t immediately think, “oh good, I am going to grow.” I still find often my initial response is resistance. As I have gotten older, I am more willing to name my resistance and lean into it instead of pulling away from the growth that awaits me.
I wonder if you have ever been disturbed or disrupted by the Holy Spirit?
Do you resist or lean in?
Do you marvel at the growth or struggle to see beyond the disruption.
Every day we are faced with invitations to grow in so many ways.
I hope you will join me in choosing to grow!
