So I started looking at me and others with more indulgent eyes.<br /><br />Thank you for this insight.

I think you've shared ...Hi, Megan (and Nicole). I think you've shared some fairly profound thoughts here. I love your 3rd sentence: "I am, sadly, one of those people who is unaware of my own self worth,and full of unnecessary pride." I think you explain and demonstrate well the difference b/w pride and an awareness of one's worth. Regarding what you share about stepping back and letting it happen without you, I'll say this: we have a finite amount of energy. And I mean energy in every sense of the word: mental, emotional, etc. in addition to physical. After we choose, wisely, to avoid unnecessary drama, we can use our energy in more productive (and pleasing to God) ways.<br /><br />Bottom line, I agree with Nicole: you've written this well.
