I sat with my own words today and felt… off.
Not because they weren’t true. Not because they weren’t powerful. But because they flowed too easily.The message came without a fight. The Spirit spoke without resistance. The words rose up from somewhere deep and poured out like breath.
And that unsettled me.
I thought, “Shouldn’t it be harder than this?”Shouldn’t I be wrestling more, weeping more, worn down by the weight of delivering something holy?
But that’s the thing about unlearning.It doesn’t always come with fireworks and fanfare.Sometimes, it arrives in stillness.
This week’s message—Unlearning to Hear—wasn't just a word I gave. It was a mirror. It showed me all the ways I’ve believed that suffering equals sacredness. That unless I’m battling for the blessing, it must not be real.
But I’m learning—still learning—that Divine alignment doesn’t demand a war.
Sometimes it just… flows.
And yet, that flow can feel frightening. Especially when you’re putting your voice into a world that’s quick to judge, quick to minimize, quick to call ease “lazy” or presence “too much.”
I don’t know if it’s my voice I’m uncomfortable with today, or the vulnerability of letting it be heard.Maybe both.
But I do know this:
✨ Ease is not the enemy.✨ Flow is not failure.✨ Peace can be the pathway, not the price.
So if you, too, are creating something that feels strangely effortless… don’t mistrust it. Don’t call it small just because it didn’t break you to birth it. Don’t confuse discomfort with disobedience.
Sometimes the battle isn’t outside—it’s the quiet war within. The one that asks: Can you trust yourself when there’s no struggle to prove you’re worthy?
I’m sitting with that question today. Maybe you are too.
Let’s breathe through it together.
