Follow Me Then Fly Begins!


Here we go! A blog for my women who struggle with being and living their best selves. Let this blog be to strengthen your wisdom and vitality for life and thus your physical person. May it be a resource of encouragement to you and a place of comfort and new strategies. My desire for Follow Me Then Fly is for women who need a companion to find an understanding home here. I hope my wisdom and my words will point you to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior and aid you in your walk to be your unique and optimal selves, living fully for Him. I do not claim to be anything other than I am: a Christian, a woman, a teacher, a leader. I've learned a few things along the way and have some knowledge to share. What I share with you is from my life's learnings and from my heart. Welcome.

In Truth

Truth will get you.  You can't hide from it.  It will come out.  It may be in various forms and at intermittent times, but it will show its face.  The face of truth is something that only you can see and only you can recognize.  But, you can not hide from it.  Truth wants to be known.  It does not want to be avoided.  

We have truths we must face each day of our lives.  Truths about ourselves will emerge whether we try our best to push them way down deep.  They find ways of reaching the surface.  They demand to be known and dealt with.  

We may try to go years ignoring truth.  It can be done but it cannot be sustained - and should not be sustained.  We must come to terms with our truths, face them, work with them, apply them and file them, live them, practice them....whatever...but not ignore them.

Why would we want to ignore our own truths anyway?  Isn't it harder to live life avoiding your truth than actually living it?  No one likes the nagging feeling that lies behind that truth trying to surface.  It makes you feel guilty, resentful, unsettled, un-evolved.  You will never reach your full potential as a person if you do not face your truth like a man (woman), look it straight in the eyes, and take it on yourself in full disclosure.  

Perhaps your truth is that you are out of shape and overweight and you know that is not good for you.  Perhaps you smoke cigarettes, have an addiction, are in a bad marriage.  Maybe you need more education, a different job. Perhaps you need to share your talents by volunteering and not sitting at home every night.  Only you know the truths you have and if you don't know them, it is high time you sat down with yourself and tried to figure them out.  Isn't it?  

 Our truths come in many ways and many forms.  We must not live the lies anymore.  We must not believe the lies anymore.  We must live our truths. Why would we want to live any other way?

Take Good Care Today.

  1. I agree that it takes a lot of energy to avoid the truth. Why waste your precious life energy on avoidance when you can use it to live a fuller and more contented life.
