wheres the kindness to myself and others in speaking of pain and disappointment that has come about in friendships?
i think i know the answer. being face to face with someone and saying something hard is hard. and if theyre uncomfortable, it makes me just want to wrap it up and have it be okay.
gah.
next topic, somewhat similar:
speaking with a friend last night, i was left mulling over how i veiwed the situation we were talking about. its really easy for me to look logically at the situation. i dont believe i entered the pain and confusion that was being felt. in alot of ways thats good. but what about the part of her heart that was hurting. if i cant hold the parts of my heart well and be curious about what i need in situations im dealing with, how can i expect to be kind to those places in others? its easy to tell someone to do something. actually doing it myself- yea, right. again, here comes the fear. GO AWAY - YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!! my heart is bound up in Christ.
