I didn’t know how to have an intentional emotional recovery time. I didn’t even know it was a thing until a few years ago.

I was going through a very difficult time emotionally. There were attacks on my integrity, character, health, business, friendships, and marriage.

The Lord used the attacks to reveal where I wasn’t trusting Him. Because I repented and received healing in places where the distrust was rooted didn’t mean I fully trusted. I needed to see the choices I made out of lack of trust so I could choose differently. I needed to know what it felt like so I could notice when I was there again and make a better choice. I needed to know the thoughts I was having and know what to think instead.

As I worked with my coach the Lord showed me that He had me in a cast. In our coaching sessions He was setting things to His design like setting a broken bone. The bone isn’t healed when it’s set, it’s just ready to heal.

My heart was the same. It wasn’t ready to bear weight yet. Not ready to jump back into everything. There needed to be time to rest, to let the new ideas and emotions solidify.

Recovery time in the cast looked like spending time with God, meditating on His word of how He sees me, imagining how the person He made me to be shows up in difficult situations.

There was memorizing and reciting scriptures, worship songs on repeat - Thy Will Be Done, Own Your Belovedness, and God is Not Against Me.
Intentionally reminding myself I wasn’t instantly changed. There was time to learn, grow, and strengthen myself in the Lord.

This week’s podcast is all about learning to rest and heal in the cast, held by the Father.
