Thanks girls for all your feed back, encouragement, and support. It is nice to now you ladies are walking beside me as I try to find what is right for me.
I totally love what Shauna had to say about sharing our stories at the Catalyst breakfast. I think that is the last chapter in her book too? And I loved what Jamie VK's friend said; something like: it is always more beautiful to be who we are in the light rather then the darkness. I feel like "my story" has become the theme of this year for me. That concept keeps coming back to me.
I was also deeply challenged by Donald Millers book, which was about telling a story as well. What I loved about his book was that it showed me that we are in control of our story. I feel like my challenge is to write the story and not let the story write me. I (along with God) am the author. I create the story and I have the power to edit the story and write a character that is worth reading about, worth investing in. A life worth living.
So this journey for me is about, yes living in the light and being truthful but also the art of editing and letting my life tell the story I want to tell.
