Done lots of self reflecting time this weekend. . . lots of realization. At the end of the weekend, I wonder, "Will what I want and am looking for ever come? Does it exist for me?"
I know you cannot sit on your rump and expect things to just come to you. I feel like when the opportunity seems to present itself, I throw my whole heart in. However, it seems that when I do, my whole heart get hurt! One must be conscious when giving away everything you have, because just because you give with the hopes that something is what you want, it doesn't mean this it is! Really, you have to carefully inspect things before believing them to be that thing you have always been looking for, simply because you treat it like it is, doesn't mean that you found it!!
Lots of rambling, I know! Sorry! When will I quit giving just assuming something is going to end up being what I want and withhold a little to protect myself?? Will it ever come . . .

Reflection . . .

I ma not sure you should have to hold a part of yourself back. I think that if you give yourself wholeheartedly you are doing what the Savior wants you to do. Hurt is going to come whether you refrain or not. So, I say why not go the full 100% and realize the Lord has to work the rest. You may get hurt but you will also find joy knowing that you did your part and the other part was not yours to worry about. Hope that makes a little sense for whatever you are dealing with. This life is a great time to learn and grow and we do that by expanding not keeping ourselves back. Love to you and your family...Cayce
The fear of hurt is always there for me as well. It's hard as we get older and have more painful life experiences to learn to find the joy in the journey worth the pain.
It will come, and you deserve the best and that's exactly what's in store for you! Don't give up, just keep hoping and watching.....it'll come!
