Trepidations…

I don’t understand this season I’m in
My heart is so heavy, where shall I begin?
The tears come so easy many a day
The person I once was seems quite far away.
Yet God has not failed me, I know He is there
Just waiting to hold me within His kind care.

Relationships stump me, in times of confusion
Commitments to people I take refuge in.
It’s those who are special and close to my heart
I can’t seem to please we spend much time apart.
And I become fearful to get close again
As we may misunderstand and repeat much more pain!

Well I read a great book by a gal named Ruth Senter
What food for thought (I’d like her as my mentor!)
She spoke about risks and about being needy
How to be a true friend without being greedy
“It takes courage,” she says, “to let others help us. “
But how to do that without starting to fuss?
