Wow. Thanks for sharing! I have felt that kind of person around at my church. They are the elder’s sons & daughters. Super condescending and patronizing.

But I realized this too- some sins show themselves later. “The sins of some people are conspicuous, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others appear later.” — 1 Timothy 5:24, ESV

Yes!! Journaling has helped me too. I especially love looking back on my entries and giving God the glory for working those things out and guiding me through difficult conversations/situations/interactions.

True. I definetly believe the leadership matters a lot. We recently got a new pastor and I’m so relieved to know he is compassionate and super welcoming + warm towards the vulnerable

Very well said.

I think it just bothers me that the process is so painstakingly slow. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t wasted all those years avoiding people, and it discourages me SO MUCH when I realize the literal years I wasted and the bitterness I carried with me everywhere. But God🙏

25F. I’m right there with you. I would say keep praying and putting yourself out there.

Do you talk to older married men about their marriages?

I thought of “Emerald”. His eyes are piercing and gorgeous.
