Healing Begins

Sidebar to "How to Care for your Soul". Busy leaders, it's okay to let your walls down and allow others to care for you.

Often as a chapter leader, I try to get my “job” done and don’t allow myself to be cared for by others. I become too prideful and concerned about my reputation to tell people what is really going on.

When our chapter went to chapter camp, I shared some of my own struggles with sin and depression during the previous year, and how God has been gradually healing me. As a result, I let down some of the walls that had been built up by my pride. This allowed me to have more authentic relationships and to experience the freedom and healing that comes from being real with others. Praise God!
