What Did You Call Me?

I've been called a lot of things over the years. Such as wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, great aunt (yup), niece, etc. I love those titles, but this past week I was called three things that I haven't been called in many years. I was called skinny, tiny frame, and strong. Who? Me?

I'll admit it, I didn't let those words sink in at the time. I brushed them off. I'm sure I made a face of disbelief and moved on to talk about something more comfortable. Why did those words make me uncomfortable? They shouldn't. I should have believed them. I should have said thank you ... and meant it. But I didn't, at least not at first. Those words made me uncomfortable because they made it sound like I've reached my health goals, but I haven't. I still have work to do and I will not stop until I reach the original goals that I set for myself. However, those words were HUGE compliments and a testament to the work that I've put in thus far. The women who called me these things may not even remember they said it, but I do. So, thank you! I will accept your compliment and I will store it away in my small victories file and I will rejoice!

Psalm 20:5 - "May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests."
