Vulnerablility?
Ok, I've given in. I want to blog, but I don't want to be vulnerable to others.... I've been hurt by judgement before. Um, I guess that the Lord will just have to deal with me or others who may inquire. I would love to be able to share internal dealings and be able to encourage others. I guess we shall see what we shall see.

Welcome! Congrats, I am glad you took the leap. I have found it nice to actually open up to people *the whole 10 people that read my blog..LOL*. I have never been able to open up to anyone as I always felt I had to be strong. Now I find that in opening up on my blog that there is such a weight gone off of me. I was told recently when I posted my weight and size that I had jumped a huge hurtle in letting my pride go of that area of my life. I encourage you to let go and remember the only opinion that matters is that of our Heavenly father!! Love ya and many giant bear hugs!!
C.S. Lewis was pretty smart and said this about love and being vulnerable. "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
Yay - another blog buddy!
I am somewhat reserved in what I blog about because I know who is reading it, but my original blog was called "Cheaper than Therapy" and I meant it to be writing therapy. Maybe I will get back to that, every now and again I still do.
Looking forward to reading you in the blogosphere.
Hey girl - welcome to the blogsphere!
I say just throw yourself out there head first. When being vulnerable - you win some and you lose some - as far as relationships are concerned. But even if you only connect with another human being for a moment - God is in it. That makes it all worthwhile.
It was good to hear from you!
Hi Becky!
I am only just now attempting to blog again as well and for the same reasons, so I understand. It is really hard to put yourself out there and be vulnerable to people. I pray you will receive kindness, warmth and friendship and that if any bit of sharp truth delivered in an unloving way does fly at you, I hope you will heal quickly, grow from it & go on stronger than ever. Thanks for sharing. :)
