Over and Over again
I am trying to wrap my mind around how someone can first of all continue to let themselves get hurt in a relational aspect, and too how someone could continue to hurt a person that they care so deeply for. I guess making yourself vonerable in relationships means all the good and all the bad. My sweet friend was sad yet again today. I am running low on words of wisdom and words of even encouragement for her towards this reoccuring situation, because I myself am discouraged by knowing that she is sad and hurt. But, because I am separated from this whole situation, minus the minimal aspect of merely being there for my friend, I feel helpless, like I want to do something to make it better and I absolutely can't do that. She is strong in the Lord, one of the strongest I've ever known, she is wise beyond her years and I am so proud of her. Through this whole situation she has constantly been learning about grace and forgiveness and opening up her mind and heart to new possibilities; and she isn't afraid of making mistakes. She has challenged me and my faith in all of this as well. I'm learning that there is no cookie- cutter way that we should handle all of life's circumstances. Sometimes we need to just take a leap of faith and trust that the Lord will catch us, bless us, and restore us if need be.
I have no doubt that she is going to be just fine, I have seen her pull through many times, and I trust that the Lord will help her to do it again. I'm learning that I cannot always be Miss Fix-It, actually I almost never can; and its good for me to get this concept now so that I can begin to rely even more heavily on prayer and truly letting the Lord handle it in His own way and His own time. Third time's a charm, and I am so confident that the Lord's hand is all over this situation and His will is going to be done, whatever that may entail. I adore my sweet friend and want nothing but God's best for her and will continue to be a faithful friend through the good and the bad. That's what friends are for and I know that I will need her to have this same mindset when I get into a situation such as this in years to come, because it can and will happen to me as well at somepoint.
