  • It's weird. You'd think I'd want to run away from God again and try to fix things myself again but I'm finding myself doing the opposite. I'm incapable of doing things on my own and cannot rely on my own strength because it simply isn't enough. When my heart is troubled, I have a tendency to either tell no one or start out telling one, two, four, eight people...and then feel like I cannot handle my problems. I found myself praying for strength and, strangely enough, for the people involved. I wasn't being completely selfish and praying just for myself or for things not to happen...I found myself concerned with other's spiritual lives. I've learned lately from some people dear to me that true friendship and love is supporting your loved one's decisions, even if they go against yours or even take them away from you for a while, if not forever. It's tough but necessary.
