I really know my role but sometimes. . . . . . .
Have you ever tried to play "Holy Spirit?" Today, I "almost" took on that role. I was real close to stepping out of my role, as wife and mom, and into the role of Holy Spirit. Thankfully God intervened; one of my manboys was the voice of reason. He allowed me to share (really vent), then the Holy Spirit spoke through him, right to me. What he said, I needed to hear and it all made complete sense. When emotion takes over, I don't always think or act appropriately, I tend to re-act. I saw a post on Facebook yesterday, it said, "I may seem quiet and reserved, but if you mess with my children I will break out a level of craziness that will make your nightmares seem like a happy place!" I am neither quiet or reserved but I do get crazy when my kids are messed with. Yesterday my kids were messed with; I wanted to go to that level of craziness that would cause harm (sad but true); thankfully God knew who to use and prepared my heart and ears to listen. Was it easy? no! Did I want justice? yes! but at what cost? Several years ago Den said to me, "do you want to win the person, or win the fight?" What does God want? I don't want to be a Spiritual Bully, my role is to let go, even when its hard, and let God and His Spirit do their "thing"! Whew, that's really a load off my shoulders.

This reminds me so much of the bible study I'm doing (Esther); last week in the video Beth Moore was talking about "mean girls." She said, "you haven't seen a mean girl until a mean girl is mean to your girl! I didn't know a grown woman could hate an eight-year-old girl!" Of course, she was fired up when she said this & it was funny - but also so true for us mommas! We ended this week's lessons in Hebrews with the reminder that God sees all, nothing goes unnoticed and He will "take care of it" in the way He knows is best.
Glad you were able to hear what you needed to and trust God will grant peace in this situation.
