As women (wives and mothers) we tend to hide behind our strength but there comes a time when we ought to allow ourselves to be weak so that we can build ourselves back up to be stronger and wiser.
I can testify that my weakest moments have taught me to be strong, resilient and wise because it is in my time of weakness I am urged to be still and listen to my inner self.
Why is it that life as to be so complicated, just when you thought you have jumped your highest hurdle a higher one present itself! At my age (middle age) I thought I had passed through my share of harsh challenges but I have been proven wrong. As a believer I know that the enemy is constantly working against me to make me fail thus becoming weak and fragile-vulnerable so he can take president over my being.
While this is his purpose, I try not to lose sight of mine and who I am and the force that dwells within me, the force that drives
me-giving me the understanding, strength and reassurance I need, knowing no matter how hard the task I am able to go through it and be victorious. I must admit that this is not always my initial reaction but always the ultimate!
There comes a time in our lives when we must put self-first. I know this quote might sound selfish however when you have been through the pain, the sadness, and other maudlin experiences that I have endured you realize that you must take the time to pause, reflect, and reset. In order to do this one must focus on self.
As a wife, mother, daughter, niece, auntie, educator, friend, earth citizen along with my many other titles I am bonded to certain responsibilities! Responsibilities that I am naturally expected to show love, support and for most part give a piece of me whenever I am called upon! In order to serve effectively in my roles I cannot do it from a place of brokenness. Hence, the reason for my quote. In order to heal and support others in their healing process I/we must acknowledge when we are broken and take the time needed to heal ourselves so that we can be successful in serving our purpose!
