I’m a big take your thoughts captive person, so I intentionally try to live in the moment. But when there are traumatic events that need “processing,” then I actively carry them to the feet of Jesus and leave them there…again and again until the trauma stops “invading” my life. It is interesting how the body can “absorb” a traumatic event, and it is so important to pray and cleanse our spirit, soul, body, and even the time from the negative side of the trauma until we see Him in that time holding us close.

At those times it takes practice to stay fully in the moment within our happy place & time.
Blessings, Jennifer

And for sharing the truth of how the body keeps the score. Many people don’t understand that. Love and blessings of further healing from “harsh words heard, of feelings of betrayal, of immense grieving of precious people.”

Wonderful post, Lisa—as always.

I think I can bring my own 2024 word into the answer God whispers to me in those moments: Receive the GIVEN without allowing my longing for the not-given to get in the way. That’s the prescription I’ve been getting, but it’s not necessarily an easy pill to swallow.

Knowing that my body can hold on to the memories is comforting to me.
Blessings, Lisa!
