How freaking cute is that!? lol
So in thinking about this prompt, my court reporting career has made me more aware of external dangers in the world (in a good way, as I would naturally be inclined to be oblivious). But in spite of that, I generally feel safe the great majority of the time. I for sure have internalized the truth that Jesus is always with me, that God is for me, and that protective angels are nearby. I live by myself but don't struggle with feeling alone or frightened. I have a security system, and I take great care to avoid any fear-based or evil entertainment, and fear for my physical safety has never been a big issue.
With a pretty rough history of abrupt rejection, the bigger struggle for me has been feeling safe and secure in my relationships, believing I matter to people and feeling that I belong and have the freedom to be myself. I still have moments of insecurity, but I have made great progress, and I am very grateful to have a solid core group of long-term friends and family who help me feel relationally safe and seen and loved!! ❤
*P.S. Happy 70th Birthday to my Aunt JoBug today!! We're headed to Cheesecake Factory for a Sunday brunch to celebrate with her this morning! (This = her and her teacher friends at Emily's shower.)
