There are times when I feel so strongly about advocating for those who have been mistreated for really any reason. Especially those who have been pushed out because someone else targeted them. And then I have days like today where I think I am still not healed enough to be truly effective. If I don’t feel heard, I just keep pushing and pushing. Maybe that’s a good thing. But I think it’s also important to know when to stop pushing. To just shine the light and let go of the outcome.
As I self-evaluate, I think it may be due to the fact I have often felt so alone in my struggles. While people may support me one-on-one, they do not go to bat very often for me when it truly matters. Since I am so used to carry my burdens alone, I am very tenancies and persistent in my pursuit of justice. However, passion overused becomes obsession. It’s a very tenuous line to walk. Maybe this is where it’s important to pray and listen for the Spirit’s guidance. This is an important lesson for me to focus on for the future.
