I sat next to Karen (name has been changed) in stunned disbelief as the bishop stripped me of my church calling. I felt exposed—laid bare. I was unable to speak… I couldn’t even begin to defend myself from the story Karen obviously made up—whatever it was.

Ten days earlier, I had been given a calling as a counselor in our young women’s organization, and was set apart. When the bishop put his hands upon my head, I could feel the power of the Lord envelope me.

I knew with all my heart that I was to serve in that position. In fact, I had never been so sure in my entire life, that was where the Lord wanted me. It was such a beautiful experience to feel the confirmation of the spirit.

Afterwards, Karen promptly informed me that it would take me at least six months to get to know the girls and to gain their trust. 

We hit the ground running, and the connection the advisor and I made with the girls was immediate. I felt so much love for them, and was excited to be able to teach them and be an influence in their lives.

At our very first activity, Karen, who had been the president of the organization for 2 years, was agitated with me. Apparently, she had changed some information at the last minute and I didn’t get the memo.

Her behavior was a bit hostile—but I thought she must be having a bad day—it really wasn’t a big deal.

Two days later, on a group text message, she was making snide remarks directed at me. It was 8:00 at night—dinner was ready, and I didn’t feel like dealing with the drama. I put my phone away for the night, but when it started to ring, my husband—thinking he was being helpful—brought it to me! 

It was Karen. I needed to be in a better frame of mind before I spoke with her, so I didn’t answer it.

I cleared emotions that night using doses of enlightenment. I love how that works!

The next morning, she texted me, making all sorts of accusations. I simply replied that if we were going to work together, it was important that we be respectful of each other. I was calm.

However, she didn’t like that I wouldn’t engage in a battle and told me she was going to the bishop and was going to tell him… blah, blah, blah. I wasn’t worried, because it wasn’t true.

I should have been worried. Karen was able to easily to persuade the bishop. He was a pushover, and bought her story hook, line and sinker. The influence she seemed to have over him was unbelievable. His decision was too fast—too easy. 

And just like that, I was informally dismissed and told I would no longer be working with the girls. 

Have you ever felt like you were a pushover because you were easily influenced?

In this experience, I was a pushover because I was so quickly defeated and was unable to stand up for myself.

The bishop was also a pushover because he was clearly persuaded to take the uninspired action Karen wanted. It all happened so fast! (To her credit, months later, Karen apologized.)

I believe everyone, at one time or another, has experienced that emotion. It’s time to clear pushover. See the dose of enlightenment below.

With love,

Jeri

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: pushover 

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how pushover applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 86 + 914 = E

Say it out loud with intent: "eighty-six plus nine-fourteen equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
