Sho Genge! This week we are talking about energy and trusting your intuition (the Holy Spirit). I’ve really grown to trust myself and my internal voice and that in its self was a journey. I had to learn to not gaslight my feelings but rather to honour them. I know that dealing with shifted energy isn’t easy but I’ve decided to view it as protection from God. If it is currently a weird season for you, I pray you find peace in the Lord.
