I am brutal when it comes to conversations...absolutely terrible! When it comes to writing, it is much easier to express myself. With a pen in my hands, or with my fingers on the keyboard, words flow easily. I don't have to think - the words just come. Yet when it comes to talking...well, let's just say I'm no public speaker!
Unfortunately, not everything can be said through notes and messages (which I love sending out!). Some things need to be talked about, and they are usually the hardest conversations to have. The words "we need to talk" are probably the worst ones that someone can say to you...but recently, I realized how much harder it is to be on the delivering end! I thought that having to listen to what the other person had to say was difficult...until I had to be the one saying it!
Seeing as it's Thankful Thursday (yay!) I want to thank God for being near me in these conversations. I know He is right beside me, encouraging me and giving me the right words to say. I thank Him for giving me courage to talk to this person, and for granting me strength. Although the conversation was...hard...I know that I was following God. :) I'm excited to see where He'll lead me!

Bless you dear.
such a touching post I will be praying God gives you the right words God Bless
I know I hate confrontations. But there are times when they are necessary especially when they are done in love. Ask the Lord to give you His words to speak to the other person.
Happy TT.

I confronted a guy back in may about some stuff .. probably one of the hardest things I have ever done.
Your right, its hard being on the delivering end .. much harder than it seems.
Be blessed,

I can totally relate...I'm much more comfortable writing than speaking. Writing gives me time to carefully choose my words.
I look forward to reading more of your blog. It's nice to "meet" you.
I'm a little late reading this, but had to comment. . .I can so relate!
You really are great at writing!
Thank you for sharing!
