She approached me later to apologize. Which I thanked her for. And again, old me would’ve seized that opportunity to utterly chastise her for her ridiculous behavior. (I can ONLY imagine WHAT my crazy self would have said. Oh Jesus…)
But, I’ve learned.
I’ve learned to allow the Holy Spirit to potter me and not my circumstances. I refuse to give them the right to shape and mold me. And, in that moment I clung to Him with everything I had.
Before I EVEN KNEW WHAT I WAS SAYING, scripture came pouring out of me. (And, not condemning scripture to make me feel right and her feel wrong. That’s just gross) But, life-giving truth came out of me. Wisdom from God’s word that I NEVER would’ve had if left to my own devices.
The Holy Spirit was firing truth out of me like a nerf gun.
It was awesome.
She softened. She listened.
After she left, Zac asked me how I was doing. People, I promised I wouldn’t butter this up. I kid you not, this is what I actually said:
I don’t allow people to define me anymore. I know who I am in Christ….I really know it. And, you can spit on me, you can call me names, you can laugh at me and you can even say you hate me – but all you’re going to get out of me is love.
WHAT?!
Zac threw his arms around me and just started laughing, saying how AMAZING GOD IS because only God could be behind a change that drastic in his wife😉
