Lately, I’ve allowed myself to fall into spats on Facebook, particularly around the issue of the school district and some things going on there that I’m very concerned about. And it doesn’t feel good. 

Or, rather, it feels good in the moment, but I soon find myself questioning not only what I said, but the way I said it — and if it was even making a difference. Just like an addict regretting the morning after, I was disgusted with myself and my behavior. The momentary rush from unleashing my tongue soon gave way to regret. 

So when I feel convicted by the Holy Spirit, I start with the question I’ve been asking myself that led me to a place where my actions don’t line up with God’s plan. Then I want to see where I can change up that question to a better, more beautiful one. 

In this case, when I’ve found myself going into these “discussions,” I’ve been asking myself, “How can I prove them wrong and convince them I’m right?”
