Revealing Our False Self and Our Journey Out...

A PATH TOWARDS HEALING IDENTITY AND TRUTH.

There comes a moment in every woman's life, when God gently turns our attention to the parts of ourselves, that we have carried for far too long, the pattern, the roles, the fears, and the defenses we've mistaken for personality. We think these behaviors make us who we are, but God calls them something different.

The false self: The version of us built by survival not truth.

 For much of my life, I walked with pieces of a woman I thought I had to be just to stay accepted, stay safe, stay unnoticed. I didn't know there is another way to live. But the moment God began revealing that the woman I performed to do and the woman who He created were not the same woman, everything shifted.

Once you see the false self, the journey out begins.

RECOGNIZING THE FALSE SELF

The false self forms slowly overtime, shaped by wounds expectations science trauma criticism and family patterns. It becomes the version of us that knows how to keep the peace, stay small, avoid conflict, or hold everything together.

You may be living in your false self:

You shrink to keep others comfortable

You silent your needs so you don't "cause trouble"

You feel responsible for everyone's emotions

You apologize for taking up space

You stay quiet in rooms God called you to speak in

You feel disconnected from your own voice

You carry guilt that was never yours

These patterns are not who you truly are. They are who you became to survive.

But survival is never meant to be your identity.

A MOMENT OF AWAKENING

For me, healing began the day God allowed the floodgates to open. The pain, the fear and the silence I had carried for decades finally poured out and the Holy Spirit gently revealed that I had been living as a woman shaped by wounds rather than than the truth.

That was the moment I saw the false self clearly.

That was moment I stopped believing the lies the world told me

That was the moment the journey out began.

OUR JOURNEY OUT

Letting go of the false self is not a single moment. It's a process, a holy unraveling, guided by God Himself.

Our journey out includes:

Noticing the lies we believed, the lies the world told us

Allowing God to touch the wound beneath them

Naming the fears we've carried since childhood

Releasing roles that were never ours

Rooting our identity in scripture instead of survival

Transformation doesn't happen because we "fix" ourselves. It happens because God reveals the truth.

"You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

ROOTED IN TRUTH

The true self, the woman God created, is not fragile, fearful, or hidden. She is formed by truth, strengthened by grace, and made whole by love.

When God reveals the false self,

He is not exposing us to shame us.

He is exposing what no longer belongs in us.

Just like a wildflower breaking through the soil, the true self rises when

We stop living from fear

We released the pressure to perform

We embrace who God says we are

We trust His voice above our past

We stop believing the lies the world told us

This is the heart of the Wildflower Gathering.

To help women recognize the false self,

let it go

and

grow wild into grace.

Love Mair

Lord,

Reveal the parts of our lives that were built by fear

built by the lies of the world, instead of truth, your truth

Show us what no longer belongs in us

Lead us gently on the journey out

Root us deeply in who You created us to be

Teachers us to grow wild and Your grace

amen
