Rigidity prevents us from living in the moments© ~ Kim-Evinda Oh, how I remember being so regimented and disciplined to a fault! I was never able to live in the moment but always focused on the next thing on my to-do list! This came to the surface of my life when I asked my first husband to leave. I finally realized I couldn’t change him, nor could I make him choose us over his drug addiction. The latter fueled my rigidity, but at the time, I looked at it as strength; I became a woman singing “I Will Survive!”
Friends, a divorce can cause rigidity! My son was just four years old. I became rigid with determination, focused on providing for my son and me, come heck or high water, and I was determined to do it in a way that allowed me to keep all that we had attained, house, car, et cetera, and a comfortable lifestyle too. However, and it’s a big “however,” I had to have an incredibly disciplined schedule and I could not take time out for anything that wasn’t on it! Don’t get me wrong; it’s great to be determined and disciplined; the problem lies in the motive! My motive was control; control my world so no one would hurt me ever again. And in the process, I missed out on many precious moments. Thank God for His grace that didn’t allow me to stay that way! I’d love to have you join us in our next life-experience class, Learning to Understand and be understood, where we will come alongside you and give you the tools to learn how to live freely, more flexibly, getting things done without missing out on the fun things in this life.
