you coward
This is going come in two parts…but things I really want to talk about, but they mood create very different moods and I don’t want one to appear like an after thought. So first things first…you coward. As this is the title, I should probably talk about that.
You are such a coward! I can’t believe your weakness. I thought you were different from the rest, but you aint. We are taught to be in the world but not off it, and you have failed. Sometimes God calls you to leave a place by taking you somewhere else, like a CU. God called me to leave this club and become an active member in my CU and I know that it is His will, because, this has been anything but easy. I have lost your friendship and my memory begins to fade. I hoped this wouldn’t be the end, but I’m afraid it has come to that. You deceived me!
I though we had worked things out, being mature Christians, and now I know the truth. If you have so many questions about what happened, why not just ask me? I know the answers! But no…you talk about me behind my back. I thought you would at least have the guts to say it to my face. I guess I was wrong. I must have misread you.
Ever felt like that? You think you know someone, and trust them and love them as a brother (sister) and then they are not who you thought they were? I feel that way right now. I feel like I totally misread people in my life, I always do. Here are a few examples from the past and the present, some I think will relate to a few people…others less likely.
1. When you like a person, it can be so easy to misread things. Sometimes you read into things too much, and not enough. Case study: see you meet someone, and you email them back and forth all the time, and say up all hours texting them…then face to face, you get nothing. Are you misreading the signs? Perhaps he was just being friendly texting you back…maybe…how do you find out?
2. You have a group of friends who you love very much. You haven’t known them too long, but you clicked almost instantly. For whatever reason, something happens which divides the group, or just excludes you from it. You keep in touch with as many people as you can, but few are interested…then you find out that some of the few you trusted…are the people who are talking about you behind your back. That hurts.
3. Misjudging people. There is a little girl at my work, who is picked on by most of the staff…and for what? None of them have even given her the time of day. I was “warned” about her before work one day…and she is one of the loveliest people in my work. My co-workers have completely misjudged her…and I think that happens too often. Some people can appear really shy face to face, does that mean that we pull away, or should we take one more step?
Just a few things that have been on my mind today.
peace
