How My Faith Defined My Womanhood
If you ever met me you would know right away that my faith is my life line. As a young girl I grew up not fully understanding how to really become a woman. Was it sexuality? Was it woman nature within me? What really made me a woman? I became a mother before I even knew the answer to that question. Prayer took the lead in my discovery and the Word brought me little understanding. It was then in my spirit I knew I would have to walk this out organically.
What makes a woman?
It's not physiology. I couldn't look at myself and just see what woman I was. No, I discovered it's spirituality that really made me the woman I am and then wanted to become. In the depths of my soul what would I find there? Well, some terrifying things as I dug the surface, but as I began to dig deeper, I found the most delicious treasures. Things hidden in me I never knew existed. power, strength , love, weakness and beautiful brokenness that turned out to be the most beautiful parts of the woman in me. I will mostly like spend the rest of my life putting those pieces together. Transforming the heart of me with every breath, every year that leaves me.
Without my faith I would have never discovered all the gifts in me and all the lack. I discovered the path to something fierce and behind me loving me all the way, He was there cheering me on.
Don't stop at the outward, not even the surface once you truly begin your discovery. Dig deep and find the core of the trueness of woman inside of you.
