My mom and I had one of those conversations yesterday that mothers only have with their daughters…and it was exactly what I needed. I left my parent’s house with my eyes puffy from tears, but feeling renewed and reassured. I have been going through a lot of things lately…and what do you know…my mom has been too. It is amazing how when you start to share your hopes, fears, and burdens with others…they reveal things about their lives that you never knew.
Vulnerability is so hard…at least for me. I like to feel strong, independent, and capable of anything and everything…but, you know sometimes I don’t feel that way. I am finally letting myself realize that that is ok.
Onward I climb up the mountain…striving for Christ alone to be the author and finisher of my faith.
Great post Emily, thanks for being vulnerable with your honesty. And I enjoyed your previous post as well on the need for control - it is a familiar struggle very near and dear (or not so dear actually) to my heart as well ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie. Thank you for sharing that you can empathize with the need to feel in control...it is such a powerful emotion. Thank you for your support.
