This race has been growing, but also breaking. I have seen things come out of my life that I thought I was or had held my identity in but in fact was hurting those around me and burdening people that I love most.
The first thing I have seen come out of me is my strength.
I thought being strong and well put together was to my own and others benefit, by not bringing my baggage to the table. But it ended up hurting people because I wasn’t being real, vulnerable or allowing myself to be weak. I was unintentionally, with my actions, telling people my life is way to put together to be disturbed by how you are feeling. But this is starting to be broken in me. I am seeing that my own brokenness is actually one of my greatest strengths. Because nobody can relate to somebody who is always strong, always put together and is never weak. Because that was just a false sense of reality. But I am finding that I no longer want to boast in my strength and being well put together, but instead I am boasting in my weakness and how through that Christ can be strong in me. In my weakness I can break down the walls that separate me from those around me and really walk into brokenness with those I love.
The second thing is my security.
I walked around in life counting myself lucky to be pretty much secure in myself. But I have recently realized that it was all wrapped up in my sense of strength and the fact that I was keeping a smiling face in the midst of my mind being in turmoil. When I walked into being a team leader last month, all my insecurities came out full force. Feelings of inadequacy, my desire to please, and trying to always seek the approval of others. I am still walking in the process of discovering my security in God. So that I can be real and fully open with my heart to show people how I feel, breathe and survive daily by the grace of God.
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” 2 Corinthians 12:9
I am still in need of $834.15 to reach my final deadline and be fully funded. Any little bit would help! Thanks!
