I have had a rough semester and the more that i think about how difficult it really has been for me; the more that i realize how many people really have no clue about how hard it has been.
I was just talking to my friend Angela about how relationships (general) are not a one sided give all nor is it a one sided take all. All relationships must be give and take other wise you have one person who is just giving,and giving, and giving...sooner or later they just won't have anything left to give. I have felt a lot like that this semester...in realizing that in a lot of my friendships I am giving but not being given too.
I am tired ( i am not writing this with an attitude, but in honesty of loneliness) of pouring myself out and not being poured back into...
In a ministry this is often what happens and I praise the Lord for the way that he pours himself into us, continually replenshing us...and i am realizing more and more..that i can not live in joy, i can not keep on pouring myself into others lives, if nothing is replenshing me...
My relationship with God needs to be strong! My time with HIM needs to take priority, Because in him alone will i find the provision and ever lasting water that I will be able to pour and give to others without becoming a dry well.
