It’s hard to run this race all alone.
I hear the buzzing of my phone in my room, indicating I’ve received a text. I walk over to the antique desk where my phone continues to pulsate against the wood. The distinct golden grain of the oak secretary begins to blur in my vision as I look down at the phone. Picking it up, I read, “You doing okay?” The tears have begun their descent, quick and hard.

The text was from a dear friend, a sister in Christ. She knows the days have been hard. She knows of the internal battle I regularly fight against the lies in my mind and the tears I try so hard to contain.
The phone buzzes again. “What can I do? How can I pray?”

Coincidentally (or not really at all), I prayed for you this morning! Hugs to you! Thanks, as always, for your ministry.
Love,
the other one!
You are sweet! Thanks!
Always good to have reminders that we are not walking alone.
Yes! And like you said, spouses can be included too:)
I was just talking with a friend yesterday about this same thing. She is a new friend to me, a sister in Christ. We found ourselves being very open about some past relationships and it was so liberating. I don’t have many friends I feel I can spill my beans to. I try to be an open book, but then, there are times like yesterday that I realize I still have so far to go. Jesus said it perfect (I guess that is a given, right?).
“…The truth sets us free.”
It sets us free in all areas and our friendships are no different.
Praise God for your sweet friend. It is wonderful that she knew you wouldn’t ask, so she offered. What a blessing to have her in your life!
Yes-free and liberating. Just taking that first step is so hard sometimes. Thanks for your comment!
