It is risky business to expose your heart, but if others can learn from our mistakes and/or experiences, it is worth it.<BR/><BR/>I love you all ...<BR/><BR/>VickiVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508317560704360675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34882898.post-39816083840338883102008-03-02T14:20:00.000-05:002008-03-02T14:20:00.000-05:00I am so glad you posted your thoughts Vicki.My com...I am so glad you posted your thoughts Vicki.<BR/>My comment on Amy's Blog about my marriage was a huge step for me,but worth it.I think to be honest but with care is the best.<BR/>Does everyone need to know about my life No but to see snippets of it may help others see who we really are,Just Human. I agre some things from God are meant just for us and others to share.I also think if we are judged by are honesty then it is really not our problem but those who may judge us.<BR/>I enjoy our group of ladies here because of their honest thoughts. It inspires me to be a better person and the learning from others wisdom is a blessing.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208671061877981706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34882898.post-28518491225541213332008-03-01T21:52:00.000-05:002008-03-01T21:52:00.000-05:00Somedays it can be like a journal...there are days...Somedays it can be like a journal...there are days that I'd never want anyone to know what I was thinking...and days I just don't care!<BR/>I do wish we could publish more though, and not feel bad about it...there are times I wish people weren't reading it so I could publish things.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695949961597433202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34882898.post-72342224957433701112008-03-01T20:56:00.000-05:002008-03-01T20:56:00.000-05:00Once out there in space you can't take it back. I...Once out there in space you can't take it back. I am always cautious to put down my inner most thoughts. I filter them, I guess that's being honest and putting myself out there. I to would not want to be judged or reminded of my insecurities on a later date. But I guess in order to become committed and accountable to others there is a sense of being open and honest.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783722180451512802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34882898.post-45256572918583676792008-02-28T13:38:00.000-05:002008-02-28T13:38:00.000-05:00Hmmm....very interesting post.

I try not to be "too open" when I post on my blog because I have extended family that read my blog and I am not always wanting to be an "open book"! lol<BR/><BR/>It is hard to be vulnerable and it is risky too. None of us wants to be rejected or hurt. The trick is, to do what God calls us to do. Easy to write, hard to actually do! ;o) Sometimes he DOES call us to be vulnerable and put ourselves "out there". I think I am learning to trust Him more and more...and hope I am becoming better at obedience!<BR/>It's s journey...Shaun and Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653294136717070480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34882898.post-71663478154275519012008-02-27T21:53:00.000-05:002008-02-27T21:53:00.000-05:00This was too good to delete.

Sometimes it's helpful just to put our thoughts on 'paper' whether they remain for our eyes only or not.Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499737823381305315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34882898.post-58967633133753488242008-02-27T20:04:00.000-05:002008-02-27T20:04:00.000-05:00Very thought provoking.

Speaking in front of the congregation weekly is one thing BUT every service is recorded... that's a lot of responsibility... no wonder I'm not too anxious to speak.
