There are so many things that make me complete. But first and foremost, I agree that my belief and faith in Jesus Christ keeps me rooted. In addition to that, I feel that self-acceptance is another thing that makes me complete. Yes, I am happily married and I love my husband (and children). However, I came to realize early in my life that although I am a mother, wife, counselor, sister, aunt, daughter (all titles), I was RENEA before I had ANY other title. I realized that I had to take care of and help MYSELF first before I could take care or help anyone else (including my very own family). I do believe that women, with all of our titles and roles, lose perspective of who we are. We forget about ourselves as individuals and this is when we feel that we are not complete.
