Growing in the Lord & Walking in the Spirit

I’ve been thinking a lot about how I have been thinking a lot. I know that many people have pointed out that I’m good at reflecting. I think that I would have said that about myself before others pointed it out but I didn’t. So then I feel like I need to give others credit for teaching me this. Another aspect that I do know is that I always called this skill “overthinking,” which I viewed as negative. Is it the same thing? How is it different? How can I teach or help others to be reflective but not overthinking? Do I even know how to do it? I know I shared in my testimony yesterday so I’ve been thinking a lot about it that in my teen years when an adult I looked up to told me that I did something wrong I was always first angry, then I came to the same conclusion. Were they ever wrong? How did I get to this point? As I am brain dumping (and it doesn’t feel like overthinking anymore) I realized today as Olivia read on her own that I used to isolate just to journal in my younger years too...
