vulnerability 1.
a.Susceptible to physical or emotional injury.
b.Susceptible to attack
c.Open to censure or criticism; assailable.

Last night i had a great talk with two people i trust greatly. I told them a bunch. Lately, i have been thinking about what it means to be vulnerable. To put yourself out there. To trust.
Early in the year, i was reading my bible and read God specifically asking his children to trust him. To be vulnerable. To stake their lives on Him. And then, he promised, he would come through.

but i am even scared of what it means to trust my two friends...my family...someone who loves me...and then, the one who created me, who knows me, who is deeply involved in not only my everyday, but the longings of my soul.

Whether i want to vulnerable or not, Jesus knows my soul, my heart, and everthing between.

We have to trust each other. Relationships, friendships, family, faith, these are what are important in life. To be honest, and real, and to experience God and life through these things are what will fulfill you. So why hide out?

"so far, when i feel let down, you are always there for me, your life means so much to me." these are words playing in an openhand song i am listening to right now.

These words are what i know are true in my life. I am going to start living what i know is true.
