To Seek One's Self
I have discovered that after a certain age every woman seeks to know their true self and/or to honor that self.
Who am I? Am I doing what I am suppose to be doing? What is my purpose? Am I honoring myself in my lifestyle or sacrificing my self to be what someone else wants me to be?
My family brings me delight. My friends keep me balanced. My soul worships the Lord. I know I was created for a purpose by the One True, Living, Creator God. I know who I am in Him. I have lived through many of life's valleys and stood on its mountain tops.
Have you ever taken the time to think about how your experiences may help others? Maybe by helping others, we realize we are helping ourselves? It brings encouragement to others when we share where we have been and how we overcame.
If we kept it all inside, it can fester, creating a chronic disease in our temperment and/or physical being. But, when we share, we turn hurt into healing by reaching out to another.
What can you share that would help someone else? How to manage a home? Marital insight? Be a better steward of money? To overcome regret? Bad choices? Heartache? It could be a simple as sharing how to stretch that dollar at the grocery store or how to balance work and motherhood. Or walking with a sister through a dark time.
Every moment is important and major to the one walking through it. We need to do what we can to help, if we can.
Everyone is on a path. We need to encourage each other. We are the road signs on the path of life. We are all relational beings. Women especially need to communicate, seek, and hold each other up. They are the relection of the relational side of God. Women help their families and communities to interact with each other.
What skills or creative passions did you do as a child? Young adult? What creative talents could you use today to reach your world? The world as a whole?
I was told that in the Native American culture there is the belief that when a woman no longer creates biologically, her creativity flows through other venues.
How can you share your story by using your creative passions? I am seeking this myself.
I am no longer a fulltime mom. I am not a newly-wed. One season is ending. The next has yet to come into full view. I am revisiting my artistic interests to discover how they might be the medium that touches another's soul so that they may better know God, who they are in Him, why they are here, or just the joy in knowing His beauty and grace.
Let's share our story to be a blessing to another. Someone next to you may be hurting and need the insight only you can share. You may be their 'road sign' of hope.
Be a blessing today! :)
