Becoming a peace "maker", not "keeper"
God showed me something about myself this week - I will go to great lengths to keep the peace and to create a "fake harmony" instead of putting myself in situations where there might be healthy conflict. Sometimes, I am more afraid of people not being happy with me or with decisions I make than I am of not being totally truthful and fully obedient to what I know God has called me to do. Thanks to my son, Brandon, who walks closely with the Lord, and the article he sent me, I have had my spiritual toes stepped on! It's a good thing~
