What are your "lost words?" (what is something you wish you had said?"
I have so many. As much as I love words, I can be shy when it comes to expressing my feelings--I'm not that assertive. So when it comes to telling someone how I feel, or if they've hurt me, it's difficult. I can write it, but sometimes I can't say it.
I'm afraid that might make me seem cold or even distant. Snobby?
I left my youth ministry position back in May. A wonderful, life-changing sort of job. I met amazing people, and I grew so much from it. And leaving was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Not because I was not ready for the change: I truly believe that God is ready to bring someone new to that church and that position. But the hard part was wrapping words around how I felt about those three years--how thankful I was, and how tired!
We live in a world of cliche. We say "awesome" when something is not really awe inspiring but just "okay." We say that we "love" Starbucks when we really mean it's "good" stuff.
Oh, well. I'm just rambling, really. My prayer would be to have my eyes opened--to have sincere words ready. To wake up to the opportunity of expression.
