none of us have it all figured out really we right without correct puncation and speling and hope peope get what we meen.
we love the things we shouldnt and hide hour selfish things. Pretend we're happy wen we're reelly upset inside.
Ok really, I've been trying to figure out why so many of us limp through life tucking our injured limbs under our jackets. We travel through life pretending we're fine when in reality we're at the breaking point.
The awful trouble is that untended wounds don't heal well. Unspoken battles get larger and become overwhelming. The awful amount of trust it takes to trust someone else with your struggles, battle scars, deepest questions, etc. is intense to say the least. It is biblical to bear one another's burdens in order to fulfil the law of Christ (love.) However, I have yet to figure out how to carry a load that doesn't exist. By hiding our "burdens" we rob each other of the chance to carry them.
Many, or maybe most of us, walk around with the misguided concept that no one will understand me. There is no one else like me. They will definitely not like me if they know who I actually am.
I have talked to more than one person who feels like that and I have felt like that myself.
You know, this dilemma does not pick favorites. It targets pastor's wives, teachers, mothers, fathers, young adults, teenagers, everyone. Everyone struggles, everyone has been hurt and needs to forgive, and everyone needs an understanding friend. If you don't have one of those, go find one. Someone brave enough to listen, kind enough to be silent, gracious enough not to condemn, and loving enough to forgive.
I believe it's time we stop rowing our poor little dinghies on the rocky sea of life and get into the life boat together. Rowing with others really does make a difference.
Blessings and love to all!
