"There is no greater agony than the untold story inside of you.

~Maya Angelou.

 

   Every woman has a story to tell. I didn’t begin to tell my story until I was 44 years old!  The story I told was quite different than the life I imagined. Despite having a husband, two beautiful children, and a successful career as a school Principal, I was not fulfilled. Sure, I may have appeared happy on the outside, but I was so focused on being a mom, wife, and career woman, that I overlooked the one person I needed to take care of the most — me.

​

   I was so busy getting through life, that I didn't realize I wasn’t truly living it. At age 44, I didn't know who I was or what I wanted. And I was terrified. The only Angie I knew existed in the context of others. My husband’s wife, my children’s mother, my school's leader. But who was I when I stood alone? Who was I in those quiet moments when no one was there to define me?

 

  Living the next 30 to 40 years disconnected from myself was not an option. So, I started unraveling the layers of myself. One, thick, cemented layer at a time. Six years later, the woman I see in the mirror is no longer a stranger. She is virtuous, victorious and valued!

 

 Walking in this world as a Christian woman is not easy.  I started FaithbyAngie to encourage Christian Women along this journey.  Join me as we strive to see ourselves through the lens of Christ!
