"And so I have learned to pretend. (Besides, most of the women I know are pretending too.) Pretend that I have an image on body image. Pretend that I am strong and sure. Pretend that I don't long to be held and protected in the deepest places of my soul. Pretend that I don't long for more than the world says I can have or more than marriage has

yet the best can see through it. even a pretender changes who they are when something happens.

what happens if a pretender was only pretending to seem cool and be someone people would like but then it turned out that all that pretending was a waste cuz that's not really what they liked ...but by the time they had pretended for so long they forgot what they were really like so they were stuck pretending they were that way?

then the pretender needs to start being real with people, so that people can be real with her. or..."be real with God so God can be real with you"...everytime I turn around lately God is beating me over the head to quit hiding behind the mask we so often assume. so much so that we often forget who the real person is ourselves. its scary, but sometimes we have to step out, take that leap of faith expecting our brothers and sisters, our family to catch us before we fall and love us for who we are in Christ
