I learn how to sucker punch

I know it's been awhile. 
I'm real sorry about that.
God's been really busy in me lately. Some days I feel like I'm going to walk to the mirror and not recognize the person staring back at me. I'm definitely not the same person I was when I started which is somewhat of a bummer because I like that person. But the identity God is forming in me is hopefully going to be a better version. 
I'm currently learning how to shut up. I don't know if any of you out there can relate but when I'm in a conversation, I can't help but sometimes just spew a fact or a story that I find interesting or entertaining without thinking about whether or not I ACTUALLY need to share it or not. It's like fact vomit. I can feel it coming up but it's already out before I smell the consequences. 
People just get sick of know it alls. Plus, the spirit doesn't want you to share everything that comes up in your thoughts. 
I've been realizing lately how much greater it would be to be that person that only talks when necessary but when they do talk: BOOM! You get sucker punched with wisdom. 

I'd much rather be that person, don't you think?
