Linking up with Lisa Jo again this week to participate in Five Minute Friday.
Today’s word is TRUE– ready, set go –
Lisa asked us to write a true story, to share the truth of where we are right now….
Truth is I am worn out and weary most days.
Truth is I do it to myself. I have high expectations of myself and others and I get frustrated when they aren’t met.
Truth is I spend too much time worrying about what other people think about me and not enough about being a true light of Christ in my day.
Truth is I get jealous when I see friends in this online community that seem more successful than I am.
Truth is I don’t make the time to write as much as I would like so I only have myself to blame! 🙂
Truth is I have met some amazing women through blogging. Women that I can email and share all my ugly truth’s with and they still love me.They still accept me and encourage me.
Truth is THAT is what this is all about for me. Community building. I know that I am not the best at it. I know that I don’t have the email subscribers or twitter followers that others have but the truth is it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that there are people available to me because of this community and the truth is I am so so grateful.
In 4 weeks I will meet many of these women and the truth is I am terrified they won’t like the “real” me in person as much as they seem to like the me behind the computer screen. But I am stepping out and trusting it will be ok.
The truth is, this probably took longer than 5 minutes but I am blessed by the opportunity to write and share and thankful for each of you that stop here and encourage me.
Hi Kristin! Thank you for sharing your truth today! I will be at Allume too and I have the same concerns. I think first time meetings are generally angst filled. The beauty for us is we are going to a gathering of women whose focus is on glorifying Him. He loves you and thinks you”re just perfect. He feels that way about each of the women who will make their way to South Carolina from all over the country. I hope to meet you there.
every. single. one. of these things is true for me too! LOVED this. you captured my emotions so well!
Thank you for sharing your truth today! Being a part of this extended family has brought me great joys as well. I won’t be meeting you at Allume, but have faith that you will be greatly blessed by your time there!
You are an important part of my community…and I can’t wait to meet you!!! I think we’re down to 24 days? SOOOOO close! Have a beautiful day, friend. 🙂
