"What's going on?" I ask myself as I clean the kitchen.
It wasn't until I sat down to write this blog in the quiet that I begin to wonder if the culprit may be hormones. Damn biology. God and I will have a conversation about this one day.
It reminds me that I am a creature bound by my biology. There are so many practices that can help me elevate my mind and develop inner calm. I can rely on God for my future and trust God with my present. Sometimes faith has an emotional component. Sometimes, faith is a commitment to set emotions aside.
The spirit connected to the heart, the heart connected to the mind and the mind connected to the body and the body limited by biology.
I think of Jesus. Limitless. Timeless. Infinite. Choosing limits as a baby with all the messy complication that comes with being a biological being - including hormones and emotions and a cracking adolescent voice.
God folded up and limited by the all the same things that limit us.
I can't even begin to get my head around this but it helps me to accept these human moments with a bit more self- compassion, grace and even detached cognition. I am not what I feel in this moment. I can choose to give myself space and know that tomorrow I will not feel this way.
I can do that, but I'm still going to have a chat with God about some of the design choices. 🧐
