I love to put on a good face. Normally I see the world through the positive lens of opportunities so it is natural for me to focus on the good thing even in the challenging times. Generally I think it’s a good thing, but sometimes it is useful to my relationships and for others to know I’m human and in need of family and friends.
There is a balance to all this, but if I’m not real about what I’m leaning and experiencing then I miss an opportunity for relationship. I have missed many.
What is it about my heart that always wants to put that best foot forward? Even if we are strong do we really want to overcome our obstacles alone and without sharing what we are learning?

So, I can’t say all that without being a little genuine about the challenges that I have been facing.

Our business has been really challenged and I am having to reach down deep to find the strength and will to overcome. It has cause me to reflect on why and what I’m doing. A question comes up in me over and over, “is this worth the fight?” Yes, it is. That is the silver lining for me. In this season there is a new level of understanding, passion, and vision that is not birthed in the times of comfort and ease.  Isn’t it in the fight that we find out what we are really made of?  So join me in life.
