Relationships....


Sunday's church service was awesome! I love this series we are going through. It's all about relationships.....


Relationships are or should be one of the biggest parts of our lives. But we don't treat them as we should. We destroy them as quickly as they were formed. Some of my realtionships are a no brainer..and then others I look at and think "why in the world am I friends with them". But we NEED relationships!! If you don't have someone who can help keep you accountable for your actions(besides your spouse) then maybe you need to go friend shopping!! I think we all need a couple other people in our lives who we can just vent too, or call up for an opinion, or someone who will just go shopping with us!!


There are 4 main points that I learned about yesterday involving relationships...

1. Be Responsible

2. Be understanding-Forgive!!

3. Be practical-confront people(using the bible as a guide on how to do this properly!)

4. Be different-LOVE!!!


I know that I have a couple relationships in my life that I am really struggling with! I really want to keep them, but I'm not sure how....I guess I need to follow the 4 things!!


Do you have a relationship that needs mending, or just let go? Let me know and I'll pray for ya!!

What a great reminder! Relationships are important but also very hard, especially for women. Good luck in your relationships and in any decisions you need to make.

I like this post Kristan. I too think about the relationships in my life. Some need work, and some I am pretty good at nurturing. But I found it takes both sides to make them work otherwise it creates frustration. I have learned to let go of relationships with people who never call back or always have an excuse for not getting together. And it is hard for women because we are pulled in so many directions...its a balancing act every day.
