I had a disagreement with a friend the other day. I was left with mind wanderings and no words. I was unsure what to say or how to feel. All that I was feeling was fear and confusion. I heard their expectations. I heard my heart tell me I could not meet their expectations and remain true to who I am. It simply was not me and if I complied, I would be entering a territory that was way beyond my boundaries.
Being new to really communicating with people and speaking my voice rather than only complying, I was lost at how to proceed.
I slept on it. I felt the same the next morning, feeling confirmed that what I believed to be so for me was correct. I asked them again if we had an argument. I think I heard a giggle although a silent one. They replied with a no. I was glad, all the same I felt badly not being able to meet their expectations but glad that I stayed strong in my beliefs.
I know there are experiences I have never imagined that will be beautiful additions to my world. I know I must discern what I will do, where I will go and what I will be a part of. I know I must try new adventures in order to grow and not be afraid as I embrace the journey. Challenges will come in my life as I move forward. I will take each step forward with the grace of God and ask for His help to keep me safe and wise.
The long drives, stuffed in the back seat of our Pink Rambler, in between two sisters is where I learned the art of throwing daggers with my eyes and how many songs can be sung with words like 'this' and 'that', causing the tongue to shoot in the direction of whichever sister you were mad at the time with. All the while, having an excuse in the lyrics of the song. All that, and plethora more...
