I had coffee last night with a friend. I met her not long after I moved here, but the only time we chat is for a few minutes between services on Sunday mornings or on youth nights, if we happen to see each other. So, last night we planned to go out... and we had a really nice time.
I knew from our brief conversations at church that we have gone through similar situations in our lives. When I shared stories with her, I could tell that she understood exactly what I was feeling, and I am sure she felt the same when she shared with me.
I want to share with more people.
At the group I attend on Friday nights, the question was presented to us was about what sharing with others does for us. There were many answers, such as the good feelings it brings, and how it helps bring more healing to parts of our lives. I had to be honest in my answer and say that I don't really share much with others. I find that I don't have the opportunity to do so, or the opportunity is there and I just completely miss it.
My desire is to use what I have faced to empower women to find their strength no matter what situation they find themselves in.
My prayer is that I see the opportunities when they are there.
