My assignment for the week is to identify my "safe places." Chuck was my safe place...he was always for me...no matter what. This leaning on people thing is HARD, HARD, HARD for me. I tend to be very black and white...God is my rock...God is...not people. In my mind, leaning on people equates to turning ever so slightly away from God. (This inadvertently protects me from the potential harm of trusting people.) However, a wise friend reminded me that God calls us to community. He uses our family and friends to give us the hugs, kisses, pats...the physical manifestations of his affection. My pockets of safety are already in place...people have openly been loving, loving, loving me. My task is to identify these havens and praise God for his provision.
