why is it so hard to admit when we're hurting?
This last week to week and a half has been really, really hard. My spirit is tired.
Now I want to say something positive, so you won't all think.... whatever you might think. But I think I will resist the impulse because it wouldn't be real.
Living in this world is hard sometimes. Gotta go get the baby now... praying to not hear screaming again from the big boys for a few more minutes. My ears are tired, too.
Jenny, you just summed up very nicely what Doug and I had been wondering all last week. Why are people so afraid to show and admit that they hurt?
ReplyDeleteGirl...I wish I would have known. I was too. We could have helped each other, maybe.
Thank you, Karmen. I appreciate your honesty and how genuine you are. I've been encouraged by our Friday morning and Sunday night groups and your participation in them. I feel like I draw a lot of strength from those times, but I have to be honest - I still have really difficult days (or weeks) sometimes...
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about our Friday and Sunday times. I'm bummed that I'm gonna miss both times this week.
ReplyDeletePlease know that you are never alone. I've got days and weeks like that too. I'm pretty sure that we're not the only ones. All it takes is for a few people to start being honest about their "stuff" and let others help.
I will be glad to be a "helper" to you anytime!
I am glad you have some good friends "way out there." God has been good to you , giving you good Christian friends.
ReplyDeleteBTW, isn't it time to come out for a visit?
