I have a group of women friends, once or twice a month we get together and laugh and vent. My heart for them is huge and yet I withhold ME from them.

Is that true?

Yes....no.....
I withhold from them the part of me that desires God for them. Now is that withholding or obedience or patience or wisdom or faith or.......

I don't know? I know I love God....I love Jesus more than anything. I know I don' t talk about You with them. I did and almost drove them away. In that bloom of being in LOVE with You.......

No that's not true.....In the first throes of being in LOVE with the possibility of YOU I talked too much...I preached at them......I tried to convince them and anyone else who would listen that what I was thinking was right, what I was wanting to believe I needed them to believe with me......and now that I am IN LOVE WITH YOU.....I can't talk about it because of past mistakes?? Or because they need to see my love for YOU by seeing how I love them.....??

I need help sorting all this out you know....I need help with the clutter that is my brain and worse yet my heart .....and yet I will let noone help me.......
