Wow I haven’t done this in FOREVER! I kept meaning to look up the prompt every week for a month…and kept forgetting! Fail! I need to get back into doing this it’s good for me. This weeks word is OPEN.
I hope Kate doesn’t mind I borrowed her image 🙂
GO
OPEN. When I think of the word OPEN I think about opening your heart to be loved. I’ve been burned a lot in the past and this is something I really struggle with. I so long to fall in love, get married, and have kids but at the same time it’s sooo scary! I’m scared that I’ll be opened to it and then get hurt again.
I know hurt is part of life and love but if I’m honest with you…it still sucks. Even if you are prepared for it..it’s awful. It’s not fun to get hurt. But then again I guess that is just part of life.
I need to be better at being opened to more things in life.
Open to love, open to people, open to relationships, open to opportunities. I sometimes wonder how many opportunities I may be missing out on because I’m not always opened to everything out there. I’m not always opened to try new things. I want to be but sometimes I feel like something, fear, is holding me back.
I’m getting better at it but sometimes I revert to my fear and second guess my decisions.
STOP
I can tend to close the door of my heart, from hurt, pain, disappointment. God is so trustworthy and always care for our heart. Have a blessed weekend.

Thanks! I know in the end it’s always worth it but man taking that first step can be scary!

Goodness, but isn’t it scary to say yes sometimes! Not to mention awkward! 🙂
But in the end, it’s good to push ourselves out of our comfort zones, and to say yes to things we aren’t enthused about. Whether love comes along or not!

Yes! I am the queen of awkwardness! Especially when it comes to new situations. I know it’s good to get out of our comfort zones but man is it also scary!

I love how you so beautiful and honestly shared your heart. It can be so hard to open our hearts, to risk being hurt again but that time that it clicks and goes right (no matter the type of relationship) it makes all the pain worth it.

Thanks! It’s funny how a simple word can make such powerful words come out 🙂
