I don't really have a community to reach out to - though at my lowest point I did find help in prayer, belief, and one, rather unexpected, person! I enjoy your writing and am certainly subscribing to your blog. Glad to have found you!Lisa Taylorhttp://www.neebeep.com/itsownsweetwillneebeepc/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932426174190045249.post-81129918787320514202011-03-24T02:30:25.802-06:002011-03-24T02:30:25.802-06:00Thank you for your vulnerability, Sarah.

I too struggle with keeping my insecurities and fears to myself, and yes, you are right, it is pride. As for asking for help, forget it! I have been so dependent upon myself (instead of God) for so long, it's hard to let go of that control. But, I am slowly learning to let go and "let God", one little step at a time.<br /><br />I found your blog through blogfrog, and am now following you through GFC. I would be honored to be your blogging buddy.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."<br /><br />This is one of my favorite verses to remind me that we are called into community, not to be Lone Ranger Christians. And your comments about humility are so right...it IS hard sometimes! But when we've really known the sweet fellowship of walking beside those who will love and accept us FOR WHO WE ARE, we are really blessed! And strengthened!<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement!Kate Mhttp://teachingwhatisgood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932426174190045249.post-23115626377393513152011-03-18T19:57:25.464-06:002011-03-18T19:57:25.464-06:00Your description of your inner self is describing ...Your description of your inner self is describing me, wow what a reflection, over the years I have learned to ask for help and to assert myself alot, gaining strength and confidence with the lords help and guidance.

I don't allow just anyone, but the people that have earned my trust have been patient enough with me to go the long haul with me. It's hard though to find people like that, I think. I don't have family left really who I can count on so my close friends have been my family. If I didn't have them, I don't know what I would do. Great insights :)<br /><br />www.crossdrivenhome.com<br />MichelleEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533826849911359486noreply@blogger.com
