Sometimes you need to distance yourself...

I learned this the hard way (I am referring to the text on the picture) People I thought would notice I am gone were the very people I poured into and invested time into , I invested so much time in them to the detriment of my family and it did hurt I will be honest, however after I have learned this truth in knowing where I stand, I actually gave myself a gift of letting go because now I HAVE MORE TIME FOR MY FAMILY...I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS SECOND CHANCE I HAVE RECEIVED.

God is strategic...

God is strategic God and He is very intentional about His children. When we are fully awake and we sit down to actually connect the dots we will see His hand on our lives all the time. This week I have taken time to pursue God like never before and the things He has revealed to me about my life, how I have actually been strengthened through all the pain and heartache, no one but myself will understand the depth.

So let me ask you, when your friend is going through a tough time, allow them to vent and speak their truth without judgement. Ask yourself the question 'How would I want my friend to respond to me if I was in her shoes?' and then you do accordingly.

Abused victims do not want to hear your thoughts and opinions, what they do want and will appreciate, is love, care, understanding and support.

When someone shares something with you in confidence don't go jumping on their issues' band wagon, don't make their issue yours, respect their issue in the way it is presented to you don't go making up your own stories because in the end the person who shared with you has made peace with it and you who has now made it your issue is just showing that you are not that "mature" to deal with the information given, examine your own heart and deal with your issue accordingly. We are all different and we deal with things differently and work through things differently so let us respect the differences, doesn't make my way right and your way wrong. It is what it is
