Ugly Authenticity


Every once and a while I get a hankering to write. Usually there is something that is funny or exciting or painful, but not today.  My life is pretty dang good. I feel like God is growing me more each day. The more I mess up the more I appreciate God’s grace.  The more self-confident I get the more God puts me in my place.  I love having friends around me who love me enough to call me out on my junk. I love that I have people that will not let me complacent or stagnant. It’s amazing that after years of perfecting the mask of the “good Christian girl,” my friends can see right through it. They don’t let me “fake it until I make it.” They call me to be authentic and love me with crap and all.  Today I am feeling truly humbled and thankful.  It’s not at all earth shattering but definitely worth writing about.
