It is hard, and sometimes so frustrating: is something wrong with me? is something wrong with them? did I say the wrong thing? am I too weird?<br />But. You are right - the matter is the timing. And that is in our Heavenly Father's hands, not ours. And you know the most beautiful thing? When you've waited with that friend, for years, and they do open up, slowly, cautiously, and then they tell you that your willingness to be with them, and to let them be themselves with you, has been the most life-giving thing anyone has ever done. Their gratefulness goes so very very deep, and all you did was patiently wait, always being there, being willing. <br />And it is all grace. And it is so beautiful.Suzanne Loughrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849616750998090319.post-31798913407088157152012-05-16T10:30:40.292-04:002012-05-16T10:30:40.292-04:00This is a beautiful brave new thing you are doing....This is a beautiful brave new thing you are doing.
