Redirection…

I have been a Pre-K Teacher for a couple of weeks now and I truly do feel like I’m walking in God’s purpose for my life. I go to bed with peace in my heart every night with high hopes to wake up and do it all over again. The children truly bring me joy and provide valuable lessons for me as well as I do them.

One lesson I have learned since working with the children is the simple act of redirection. Redirection is something often used if two children are fighting over a single toy, we take away the toy and redirect the children to focus on something else. Redirection has been a lesson that I apply to my day to day life also.

See, whenever I was faced with an issue that could cause me to become anxious, worried, or angry, I would focus on the issue at hand and how I could fix it myself. (Downfall). Only to then become emotional or ,“in my feelings”, about not being able to fix it myself. (Spiraling). Only to then isolate myself in my dark bedroom, where I’m too fearful to make a move because of all these thoughts in my head from the enemy that are telling me things that are not true. “You’ll never get it together, you’ll always struggle, you are not worthy”. (Depression).

Today, I see a hurdle and I redirect my focus to The Creator of all things.

I focus on the love, the joy, the peace, the faithfulness, the mercy, the promise THE BLOOD.

I redirect and move forward, knowing God has already walked ahead of me in this moment.

1 Peter 5:6 “Be patient, steadily doing the work God has given you to do, and allow God to choose the best time to change your circumstances”.
