I know I've been missing in action for a little while. I've been hiding out on purpose. No really, it's been a very long five days, filled with what seemed like endless drama. And I am sooo done. And I'm thankful that the Lord provides a way out of toxic relationships and situations. I am very serious people, when you hear that little small voice in your head saying
"Caution, back away slowly and say nothing," listen to it. Because it may be the Holy spirit whispering in your ear. I believe with all my heart that the Lord still speaks to us today, and it doesn't have to look like a burning bush. But, if He is a real part of your life, He most definitely guides and protects you from those that mean you harm. But, we have to know His voice, and we have to take heed when He gives us instructions. I can see now, so many horrible paths this situation could have taken if I had acted out of emotion. I am thankful for all the ways He speaks to us, through prayer and His word, through other people and especially through my spouse, whom I should have listen to a long time ago. There is a reason that the Lord gave us to each other as life partners. And sometimes I have to be reminded of the fact that it may not have anything to do with romance or courtship, but more with counsel , wisdom and guidance. Thank you God for teaching me that I am also still learning everyday and should not always lead with my own perception or emotion about a situation. And more than anything I thank you right now for your protection.

I agree that the Holy Spirit still guides us and protects us.
And you are right about backing away slowly verses turning and running from certain situations to keep things from escalating into a worse problem.
I pray whatever that harmful situation was is over with.
amen, sista.
amen, sista.
His sheep hear His voice. I'm so glad you did. I'm also glad you acknowledge and follow the line of authority which God has set up....God - husband - wife - children. Our protection and covering is a Godly husband.
