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.

Survive

What's important to me?  I keep asking that question.  People being comfortable matters to me.  A lot.  Laughing.  Relaxing.  Having fun.  Seeing my kid smile...all the way up to his eyes.  I don't really care if my house is a show place.  I don't really care if everyone loves my menu.  I don't even care if the party is the talk of all.  I just care that each individual that comes feels welcome. At home.  Cared about.  That the food is satisfying.  Maybe fun.  I care that people are able to relax.  And laugh.  And find a place to be comfortable. I care.  A lot.
And for years I couldn't rest and let people enjoy.  I had to push.  But, when I wouldn't, when I would stick to how I wanted it to be....I was ridiculed.  By his mom.  By his family.  By him.  And it hurt.  Because I care about people.
What's important?  That is what I need to focus upon.
blessings.
