Insight...it's long.

As I posted last week, this journey has not been just about my physical change, but also a mental change. I have been fed up with letting only part of me be "alive" not even thriving at that. My journey has awakened all sorts of new things within me. The past few weeks, I thought maybe it was Fall coming...my soul is always moved this time of year...but this time, I can see it is much more. I am able to put words to emotions, see what needs improvement, where I am doing well, etc.

Last week, my Mom's Bible Study started back up for the Fall semester. Before we delve into our study, we are hearing each gal's life map/journey. Even though we all know each other well, it is still great to hear. I shared my map. It has ups and downs, heartbreak and joy. Later that day, I was looking back on my story trying to figure out how I could have better told it. And a word came to me....significance. All of my life I have felt pretty insignificant in this world, that there was nothing special or interesting about me, I could not be used in any meaningful sort of way. Oh how I have struggled to be a part, be liked, be wanted, etc. Then, at 35 years old, God places me in a community of women where I actually feel like He might be able to use me. Not only the women be a pivotal part of my life, but me in theirs. Even gals I have known for years are taking new meaning in my life. Crazy!

Being a gal who has been desperate to have true "girlfriends," I am extremely blessed. My Lord chose to put me in with so many truly wonderful women. For that, I am forever grateful.

Ladies...you touch my life more than you could ever know. You spur me on, laugh with me (very important), cry with me, mother with me and seek our Savior with me.

Love you all!

significance: the quality of being significant or having meaning.
