Once again, I have the desire and motivation to blog when I definitely should not be online. I have two papers to write tonight so this must be short. I shouldn't even be on here, but I have to get these thoughts out of my head so I can focus on school.
I can't fix everyone's problems.
That one obvious statement is the single hardest thing for me to learn. I want to be able to encourage my friends when they're having a rough week. I want to know what's going on in their lives so that I can help. I want to be able to fix what's wrong in their lives so that they can be happy. I can't fix anything. I can encourage, but I can't fix. That's Jesus's job. And He should get the glory for everything being fixed, not me for encouraging. That hit me hard. And continues to do so. I'm stuck finding the balance between encouraging and trying to fix. So much of life is finding a balance...and I'm not very good at that.
