Are you an oldest child? Are you the "strong one?" Neither are bad ways of being (or being perceived), but there are some challenges. My dear friend who writes at The Emmaus Road wrote a beautiful devotional piece on being strong and taking care of each other--it brought me to tears. So often I forget that the hallmarks of my faith tradition are vulnerability, weakness and God's ability to bring life out of our human frailty.
I can't do much about people's impression of me, but I can learn to cut myself some slack. I am strong. But I don't always have to be....God can work with me, either way.
