Last night we discussed 2 dream killing components-Through our Navigate Lesson!
When expectation and reality dont align, we fill the gap with things the Lord never intended for our lives. We begin living outside of HIS purpose, peace & fulfillment.
Self sabotage: disappointment can become a “when”…not an “if”. Success becomes uncomfortable & discomfort and anxiety show up in our lives. Simply put-we lower the bar of expectation ourselves!
No expectations: we are so used to disappointment, that we just don’t expect anything at all. I mean, why even try expecting…when we already know what we are going to get??
WRONG!! 🙂↔️
The Lord says “for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hop” Jeremiah 29:11
When the limbic part of our brain starts screaming a response- we follow along. We use adaptive behaviors to fill the gaps. But, we need to really take a good look at what we are placing in the void of disappointment! Adaptive behaviors become maladaptive after a while, and create bigger gaps or even NEW gaps!
-Withdrawing to “protect ourselves”= isolation. Then we have gap called depression!
-raging on people because we want to show them we are not to be messed with anymore, in efforts to protect ourselves=pushing the good people the Lord sends us away, or criminal charges. Which creates a gap lonlieness or financial burdens.
-the “I will just do it myself”, because I have never been able to depend on anyone= burnout!
With the help of the Lord renewing our minds, we can begin to rewire our brain to function in the way the Lord designed and step into the purpose, peace and fulfillment he has for us! ❤️
