Today the little kid part of Zoey felt terror from getting triggered by getting a whiff of the cologne a man at the park was wearing. It was the same cologne Zoey’s dad always wore. Zoey practices soothing and comforting the panicked little kid inside of her. Jesus comforts them both.
Zoey confesses to Jesus that she would rather keep to her habitual pattern of checking out by watching endless videos and ignoring the pain inside of her than connecting in with Him. She wrestles with the desire to continue unhelpful behaviors instead coming out of hiding because she is safe with Jesus now.
Amelia (the name of one of Zoey’s younger parts) thinks she still lives at home with her parents. She learns that Jesus views mistakes as a normal part of life which is the opposite of how her dad viewed mistakes. She learns that Jesus is safe, tells the truth, and wants to be with her.
Zoey is wrestling with trusting Jesus to protect and care for the precious burdens she has been carrying most of her life.
Some people believe not only that making mistakes are bad, but that they are a mistake. Zoey is in the process of replacing that belief with the truth that she is NOT a mistake, but deeply wanted and loved by Jesus.
