Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder how it feels to not be weird.  Or odd.  Sometimes I wonder whether others understand that who I am isn't just someone I've cultivated...but it is part of me.  I am not the outgoing one.  I am not up for anything and everything.  But I find comfort with those I am at home with.  And they aren't dozens.  I'm definitely an introvert.  I suffer with it sometimes.  With the fact that most people have lots of people.  And are comfortable that way.  And I?  Well, I am different.  I relax in the familiar.  Not things to do.  I like doing things.  I like going out.  Or being home.  But I am at home with a few.
Sometimes I wonder.  Am I home to others?  Mostly it doesn't feel like it.  I want to be kind.  I want to be a good friend.  But it always seems like the kind of friend people are supposed to be and who I am are at odds.
So...yes, sometimes I wonder if being me is a good thing.
But lately...though it's hard...though I struggle...I have found.....I like me.  Even if nobody else gets me.  Even if I have nobody to wonder with.  Even if it's painful.  I like me.
