If I were a Saint, I’d be the Patron Saint of Boundaries. This is a concept I knew nothing about until the age of 40, coming from a dysfunctional co-dependent family living on a houseboat floating down the river of denial. Boundaries are all about when to say yes, when to say no, and when to know the difference. Even living on the houseboat most of my life, one of the main mantras that I told my children over and over was “you can’t change the world, you can only change the way you respond to the world.” As profound as that statement is, I still had no concept of how to put this into place until I was introduced to a Boundaries class with curriculum taught by Cloud-Townsend. Walking with God is a lot like my new walk with Boundaries, its now second hand for me to surrender those things that are out of my control, and most importantly, the a-ha! concept of “hey, maybe this instance isn’t even about me”… unfortunately, I’ve lost my former drama queen title. Now I’m the King's Daughter… a much preferable reign.
