proudly wearing my holy mud...

Our journey through life is a sacred place. Meaning I cannot put my fingers all over another's journey even when it pains me to see them hurting. This is their 'holy mud'. I only can take off my shoes and respectfully remain on the sidelines. Surrendering all my fight to the Almighty.

However, I am discovering another layer to this learning. I need to stop explaining/defending myself to others as if I have no respect for myself or for my journey. My identity is rooted in God. I do not need to apologize. I have worked hard only to realize Great Victory in the Joy of the Lord that comes when I have surrendered all to the Master.

The more your identity is rooted in God's value for you, the less you are controlled and limited by what others think of you." ~tBW
