I know what you mean, Joanna. It is so tempting to hold back. Sharing opens one up to criticism and that’s a scary thing! It is a great feeling, though, when you do share and it has a positive impact on the hearer.

Thank you, Nate. It’s a reminder I need. Sometimes I tell myself that if people are aware of how I fail to live up to what I believe, they will have a lower opinion of what I believe; but I think this is mostly a cover for my own ego and wish to be impressive. Certainly I’ve been comforted, challenged and blessed by others’ honesty about their struggles, and occasionally I’ve shared mine in ways that feel lifegiving.
