There comes a time in a woman’s life in where we mature.
By this I don’t mean going through the rights of passage of life, but a time
where we stand back to reflect on our lives and say, “this is what I truly want
for my life.” At this point in time, we
realize that some of the people we’ve been around are not best to fit in our
lives, and that some of the actions we’ve been accustomed to should no longer
be in our lives. We have come to
realize, “I am going to live for me and what I stand for and that is that.” It’s like the AHA moment in our lives.
This “Aha moment” doesn’t mean that we don’t care about
anyone else in our lives, but it basically means that we are going to stop
taking everyone else’s misconceptions and start living for us. As women, we become independent to a certain
extent and learn when enough is enough. “It
is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head,
because of the angels. Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of
man, nor is man independent of woman. For
as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from
God” (1 Corinthians 11:10-12). With this maturity we gain a new understanding
and meaning for our lives. We focus on
the importance of life and seeking more of the Lord. We learn to stop gossiping
with our friends about our life, and begin to enjoy being ourselves, and
allowing others to learn and in turn, accept us for who we are.
We want to be worthy of who we are and have others find
that worthiness we deserve in their lives.
“[Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ ] As a prisoner for the Lord,
then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received” (Ephesians 4:1). We have learned to value, respect, and love ourselves and we
should receive the same from others. We
are done feeling guilty for what we do and don’t do and have moved on to
accepting the fact that if I can do these things great and if they don’t get
done then great. It’s not necessarily a
mind frame of not caring, but it’s a mind frame of what can I do in the time I
have and how can I value myself and my time better. It’s okay to live out your AHA moment. It will make your life worth wild.
