COT:
There is so much unseen internal struggle in human life, especially for men.
The effect of that struggle is very much felt by the wives and children of those men.
I CAN NOT OVERSTATE THIS.
We need eachother. We need consistent relationship with men to get real with our talk, our struggles, our internal dialogues, and get the correction we need when we believe lies from the enemy about our worth or about what we “deserve” from life. We need encouragement to accelerate our own character and well being so we can provide the emotional stability and unconditional love our children and M’s need from us.
You can not give what you do not have.
You can not have it without cultivating it.
I need you. I need you to be a badass hard charging fighter in life that will challenge me to be better. I need you to hold me up when I’m weak. I need you to correct me when my ego gets in my way. I need you to keep me on the path day-to-day.
Iron sharpens iron.
