Transparency



I reread my last post and realized it's somewhat misleading (totally unintentional).  The only reason I'm bothering to bring this up is because, as I previously mentioned, God is teaching me to be transparent.  I'm going start being open (or at least trying - with God's grace) about what's going on on the inside.

Pretty much, I'm doing okay.  Not fantastic, but not horrible.  God IS doing amazing things in my life, as I mentioned in my previous post, and I'm so thankful... but, as always, there are some hard things as well.

God is teaching me to walk out the healing I have received in the realm of family, and it's SUPER difficult.  Praise God for grace.

It's also really difficult to kill something when you know for sure from God Himself that it will be yours in the future.  I'm struggling with giving it over to God because I KNOW that it will be mine regardless.  I'm pretty sure it's only an issue right now because three of my closest friends are all receiving theirs.. so it's kind of constantly brought to mind.

But it's okay.  Jesus satisfies.

I like that you mentioned this. I like to be as open/transparent as possible about things if it will help someone else out. The power in groups is that you can help each other out... And these blogs make it super easy to do so... Keep up the good stuff...

Thanks, Paul! you've really encouraged me! i agree.. it has been amazing how this blogging thing has worked out! it's really easy for us to all stay in touch and encourage one another without awkward face-to-face confrontation on random subjects aha.

thats my opinion, at least!
