Journal Entry: “Inviting Wisdom In”

📝 Journal Entry: “Inviting Wisdom In” 

June 28th 2025
Where in my life do I most need wisdom right now? 

I stand at a threshold—a sacred moment where wisdom is my greatest ally. In this season of spiritual awakening, I am learning that wisdom is not just knowledge but divine discernment. It whispers in the quiet spaces, urging me to listen before I speak, to reflect before I react, to trust before I fear. 
I need wisdom in how I love myself. Too often, I have given from a cup half full, forgetting that preservation is not selfishness but sacred necessity. To love myself fully is to honor the vessel through which my purpose flows. I need wisdom in my relationships—how I communicate, how I set boundaries, how I remain open yet unwavering in my truth. Every interaction should be a reflection of divine love, built not on convenience but on intentionality. 
Parenting requires wisdom beyond human understanding. It is the art of guiding without controlling, shaping without possessing. My children are souls entrusted to me, not extensions of me. To raise them wisely is to lead by example, to teach them patience, resilience, and faith. And I need wisdom in my waiting—trusting that divine timing is never late, that every unanswered question holds purpose, and that the greatest lessons often come in silence.

What would it look like to pause, pray, and listen before I act? 
It would look like strength wrapped in patience, wisdom resting in reflection, and faith moving in surrender. To pause before I act means stepping away from urgency and into alignment. It means silencing the inner noise—the doubts, the pressures, the conditioning that tells me I must always know, always do, always fix. 
Pausing would allow me to feel before I decide, to seek divine instruction rather than lean on fleeting emotion. It would reshape my conversations, where words become intentional rather than reactive. It would deepen my presence, ensuring that each action carries purpose rather than impulse. 
In parenting, the pause would be my greatest tool—to hear my child beyond their words, to see them beyond their actions, to understand them beyond their mistakes. In relationships, it would be a gift, teaching me that not everything requires an answer, that some moments call for quiet reflection rather than forceful resolution. 
Before every decision, I would ask: "Is this aligned with divine wisdom? Does this elevate me, strengthen me, move me toward my highest self?" If the answer is unclear, then waiting is wisdom in itself.

Have I recently seen the fruit of wise decisions—or the lessons of unwise ones? 
Yes. Wisdom has revealed itself in every choice, whether it was guided by truth or clouded by emotion. I have seen the fruits of choosing peace over validation, of trusting divine timing instead of forcing outcomes. I have learned that silence can be a form of strength and that surrender is not weakness but divine trust. 
I have seen growth in the moments where I honored myself—when I said “no” not out of avoidance but out of self-respect, when I allowed myself to rest without guilt, when I spoke my truth without fear. 
Yet, I have also felt the weight of unwise decisions—the exhaustion that comes from overextending, the frustration of reacting before reflecting, the imbalance of prioritizing others over my own needs. Every misstep was a lesson, every challenge a teacher, every moment a calling to rise higher.Through it all, wisdom has been my companion, quietly steering me toward elevation, understanding, and grace. And today, I walk in that truth—not perfectly, but intentionally. 

Closing Reflection 
I am evolving. I am expanding. I am awakening to the wisdom that has always been within me. 
I embrace the journey with patience. I trust that divine knowledge unfolds exactly when I need it. I welcome the lessons that shape me, the boundaries that protect me, and the love that begins with me. 
I move forward with clarity, standing in my highest vibration, knowing that everything I seek is already seeking me.
