The Midweek Mirror: When Patterns Tell the Truth

By midweek, life can feel like a puzzle dumped on the table - edges missing, pieces flipped upside down, and people’s words not quite matching their actions. When you slow down, get quiet, and let the Holy Spirit sharpen your discernment, the pieces start to click into place. Patterns that once felt “off” begin to tell the truth you could not see when you were rushing.

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”
1 John 4:1 (NIV)​

When Something Just Isn’t Right

Recently, the mirror has been showing a painful pattern: people who pretended to care were actually aligning against me. A coworker who once acted fascinated by my work, who leaned in, encouraged me, and seemed invested. On the surface, it looked like connection and support.

But as soon as I resigned from my role and chose what was healthiest for my life, the communication dried up. No calls. No real check-ins. Silence, although I did reach out asking for help (which went unanswered). The message was loud: “You were valuable as long as you stayed where we wanted you.” Discernment lets you name that shift without gas-lighting yourself.

“Even your brothers and your own family have betrayed you; they cry aloud after you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.”
Jeremiah 12:6 (NIV)​

The Patterns Behind the Polite Words

One of the most unsettling parts of this story is recognizing how far someone was willing to go to look caring while quietly standing against me. The more I replayed the conversations, the timing, and the sudden silence after I chose what was best for me, the more it became clear that my connection was being used, shaped, and perhaps even steered for someone else’s gain. That realization cuts deep, especially when I know how pure my own heart and intentions were.

Discernment is not about demonizing every person; it is about finally admitting what the pattern has been shouting. When affection, access, and “support” are only present as long as you play a certain role, that is not love - that is utility. And when you step out of that role and everything shifts, the pattern confirms what your spirit already knew: something was not right.

“For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)​

Letting the Puzzle Solve Itself

The Midweek Mirror invites you to do something radical: slow down enough for your inner knowing, your Holy Spirit - guided discernment, and your pattern recognition to work together. You do not have to chase every answer or replay every scene on a loop. When you quiet your mind and go inward with God, the puzzle often starts solving itself.

You notice:

• Who only engages when proximity benefits them.
• Who disappears when you choose what is best for your soul.
• Who likes the idea of you but not the reality of your boundaries and calling.

God uses this clarity not to shame you, but to protect you. Discernment, practiced over time, trains your senses “to distinguish good from evil.” Hebrews 5:14​

One of a Kind: Attract, Don’t Chase

It is a sad story in many ways. Someone who got to feel the warmth of my genuine, uncommon love chose to treat it like something to leverage instead of something to honor. But here is the deeper truth: their choices do not change who I am. I know my heart is rare. I know I am one of a kind.

There is no single “twin flame” that defines your destiny. There are many wonderful women and men in this world, and your future is not trapped in your past connections. Those who mishandled you may spend years searching for what they once had in me and never quite find it again - not because I wish them harm, but because what I carry is uniquely woven by God.

My heart still desires love, but I no longer chase it. You attract what aligns with who you truly are. Standing rooted in Christ, I trust that the right connections will recognize my value without needing to manipulate me to keep it.

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Psalm 37:4 (NIV)​

The Midweek Mirror Practice: Discernment and Self-Compassion

Let this week’s pause be both honest and gentle:

1. Slow down and name the pattern.
   Take one situation that still feels “off.” Without editing, write down what has actually happened over time - not what was promised, but what was repeated. Ask God, “What are You showing me here?”
2. Ask God to connect the pieces.
   Pray, “Holy Spirit, put this puzzle together for me. Show me where I ignored red flags, where I was used, and where You were protecting me even when I did not see it.” Sit in silence for a few minutes and notice any insights that rise.
3. Bless your own heart.
   Place a hand over your heart and say, “Thank you for loving deeply. Thank you for hoping. Thank you for surviving this.” Let self-compassion soften the edges of the story.
4. Recall your energy.
   Quietly pray, “God, I call my energy, my affection, and my focus back to myself and back to You. Redirect it toward people and places that honor what You’ve placed in me.”
5. Choose attraction over chasing.
   Write one sentence that begins with: “From now on, I will attract, not chase, by…” and finish it with a practical shift - maybe slower pacing in new relationships, clearer boundaries, or staying rooted in your purpose instead of seeking constant validation.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)​

Midweek Mirror Prayer

Jesus,

By midweek my mind is full
of conversations, memories,
and moments that do not quite add up.
Thank You for loving me enough
to show me what is real,
even when the truth is painful.

Sharpen my discernment.
Help me notice patterns,
not just promises.
When something is off,
give me the courage
to pause, to pray,
and to pay attention.

Heal the places in me
that were used, misread, or misused.
Thank You that my pure heart
is not a weakness,
but a reflection of You.
Teach me to guard it with wisdom,
not walls.

I release the people
who treated my love like a tool.
I bless them,
and I step back.
Call my energy back to me, Lord.
Root it in Your presence,
in my purpose,
and in relationships
that honor what You’ve placed in me.

Remind me that I am one of a kind,
and that I do not have to chase love -
I can stand,
aligned with You,
and allow the right people
to recognize what You have written
in my life.

Lead me through this week
with clear eyes,
a soft heart,
and an anchored spirit.

Amen.

With truth, courage, and grace,
Eugene 💘

Your Journey Starts Here

Many have asked during my TikTok Lives how to begin their personal or spiritual journey. So far, I've explored and mapped the first three stages for those seeking alignment - the awakening, the journey inward, and the path forward.

These stages have brought profound clarity, and I'm grateful to share what I've discovered along the way.

There are still a few details unfolding, but trust that everything is aligning in its own time - and you'll be the first to know when it's ready.

Remember, this is self-love being transmuted into art; growth takes time, and you can't rush an actual journey, beautiful souls. In due time, all the right energy falls into place. Just have faith. Hold the vision.
