Music Monday!

Since I haven't done a "Music Monday" post in.....Well, a WHOLE bunch of Monday's, I'm recommending to you an ENTIRE ALBUM!

Seriously, I'm addicted to it! Love every song! It's probably the best Passion album yet! Christ is glorified clearly in every note of every song!

Enjoy!

Tired of Chasing.....

I try to be as positive and real as I can here. That said, I'm about to vent so if you'd rather skip this entry, feel free!

I've decided I'm tired of chasing everybody. I'm tired of being the one that initiates contact first in my friendships and I'm tired of having to "nudge" people to get them to check in.

I've noticed that a lot of people are bad at following up on situations. Say for instance, I tell someone a family member of mine has been sick, it annoys me that they never bother to check in later to ask how things are going, and only after I make contact with them after a few days do they ask.

I'm sick of people patronizing or humoring me and thinking I don't realize it. I want people in my life that care enough to hear what I'm not saying, that worry when they don't hear from me after awhile, I want equally balanced friendships.

I've been praying about this and asking God to give me the discernment I need to realize those friends that I have that are genuine, and those friendships that I need to let go. It'll be a difficult process, but it's one that needs to happen.

I'm finally at the point where I can say I really feel I deserve better, and I only want people in my life that want me in theirs. Any relationship is a two way street, and I'm finished making all of the first moves.

God grant me the strength to let go of those that I need to move away from, and help me hold on to those that are true and genuine, all the while remembering that YOU are the center of it all.

Amen
