So when you look at my face. You got to know that I'm made. Of everything love and pain, these are the pieces of me. Like every woman I know, I complicated for sure, but when I love I love to there's no love no more, these are the pieces of me ~Ledisi~
How complicated are we, "women"? Pretty complicated I think many would say, but what amazing beings God created. I met this amazing women yesterday, and it made me have a moment of reflection, of just how resilient God made us. The time he must have spent crafting us. He truly knew that we would have to be so different and so very special. This women, we'll call her "Angel", came into my office and when she approached the front desk she had this illuminating glow about her and an unforgettable personality. She had been recommended to one of the practices in our offices by another doctor. As she was talking she mentioned that she had just finished a bout with cancer(ovarian) stage 3. She recently went back to the doctor, only to find out that it had spread to her liver. The whole time she was telling this story she was smiling and laughing. She mentioned she was going to Zumba at 10am, Yoga at 3pm, and she would finish her day off with Spin Class at 6pm. I looked at her and I was astonished that she had so much energy and pizazz! She mentioned the doctors said she needed to slow down, but this women looked as though she was in the best health and shape that I could possibly imagine. Still smiling, still excited about life, and most importantly unaffected by cancer. Her "piece" was resiliency.
So often I wonder how many pieces God designed us with. Which piece is the one that holds us together in times of trouble and triumph....
Her testimony touched my heart. My realtor told me that we as women have something called, "presence"! And even on our worst day we are still the best(LR)! We have all these pieces that make us up and some how we find a way to keep them all together, even when we want to pull the covers over our head and cry. We have an innate ability to PRESS, to keep going, to still smile, to still love, to still give, to still be a wife, mother, daughter, counselor. Complicated, yes. But what amazing attributes we have. What is your piece???
Love & Joy
