Learning..... (Part 2)

Last week, I mentioned how I'm learning to have healthy, honest confrontation with those closest to me. The fact that I even have said anything at all is a HUGE step in the right direction. But, the response I got from the party I addressed has blown me away. Never would I have expected it to go as well as it did.

We've had a few emails going back and forth...and my most-recent email back was (hopefully) laced in humility but at the same time very, very honest and forthright...and downright BOLD in some areas. So bold, in fact, that I was a little hesitant to see the response I'd get and so, fearfully, I didn't even check my email for two days. But, when I opened the email this morning, I couldn't believe the response. SO GOOD.

I don't expect that every response I get to tough conversations will be this good. But, gosh, this helps immensely as I learn how to do this more regularly. This gives me hope for the true health that open, honest but humble confrontation can bring.

Thanks, Jesus!
