Day 18 - Experiencing Life Together
unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, sympathetic comforting.
I think that this is really hard to do. If you are in a small group at a local church its probably the only place where they ask you hard questions like the things listed above. Most small groups have a hard time opening up and talking about this kind of stuff in front of others. Talking about your troubles and having sympathetic comforting... or honest sharing (always hard to do at church)... unselfish loving (is that possible?)
Experiencing life together is hard. I think that we have a wonderfully, unique opportunity to experience life together through this blog. I believe it's always easier to share honestly and comfort sympathetically over the computer rather than face to face.
I wrote in my journal today that I am so thankful for this blog. When I decided to read the book, I was wondering how in the world I would get through it and understand parts of it. How wonderful that even though we are 2 hours apart we have somewhere to join together and talk, discuss, or just read other opinions on the chapters. Thanks for bringing us together lauren. I love getting feedback from you and britt and feeling like I have some stuff in common with other people, like erin, I think we have both had some of the same questions! I dont feel so alone in my journey!
