Brave is women. Them sitting in my Thursday night group. A
group of them. Wanting to live whole hearted. Talking about shame and her of all things. And we sit
there in our imperfect bodies with our hearts pouring out of our imperfect lives.
We’re broken and bleeding. Real and
honest. We’ve come because we know we’ve messed up and failed. And we know you
have too. We know in this life we can’t get it right. But we want to get
closer.
In this life we’ll never be enough. Never skinny enough or
curvy enough. We’ll never be rich enough or non-consumerist enough. But in that
room, in two hours each week we level the playing field. And all our broken
pieces come together to make a beautiful mosaic.
And that is where I learn to be brave.
I'm linked up with Lisa-Jo's Five Minute Friday. Join us here?
That IS brave. Honesty is brave. And so liberating. Beautiful writing. Praying for your Thursday ladies- thanking God for working within you.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you, LR. It is liberating. I appreciate your prayers.
DeleteI like the mosaic thought. Beautiful. Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bobbi.
DeleteHow great that you have that. Being around other people who can be real definitely helps us have the courage to be as well...which in turn helps others, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Sara. This group is so "easy" because we all came with the intention of addressing shame in our lives. That really levels the playing field.
DeleteThank you, Denise.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful for you, Joy. So, so thankful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sadee. I count you as a blessing too.
