What a crazy day. It started quite normal in a way. I was super excited about my 2nd meeting for a Girls Bible Study I started.We decided as a group to read thru a book called Fight Like a Girl (The Power of Being a Women) by Lisa Bevere.
I read the second chapter like I was suppose to the night before and was all happy and ready to go for my meeting.It wasn't till we were discussing the study that it hit me what I had read the night before.I remember reading this paragraph and being really saddened by it. But after a day of pondering it I have allowed it to overtake my thoughts and my feelings all day.
Lisa writes "It is amazing what time and a change of perspective can do. As the years have passed, I no longer feel pressure to compare myself with other women. God has healed those broken places."
I have felt my heart crying out all day- I don't want to be broken !!!!!!!
I so long for that perspective change. Where I can accept my differences. Where I don't challenge my uniqueness.
In my heart I know that God made me unique and special . Why is it for some reason then from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed I am finding that I challenge this on so many levels.
I want to know can the strengths I have stand firm on their own with this perspective?
In her prayer she writes and I repeat fervently tonight "I remove the awkward costume and come before you ready to be redressed in the splendor of my orgin. Spirit, breathe life on every dead and barren place. Open my eyes to see what can be, and open my ears to hear You call me by name. Amen."
