So, tonight we went to a fellowship group we’ve been going to over the past few months. This was our third meeting with the group. It was weird because a lot of the people in the group I’ve specifically struggled in growing relationships with, but as the group meets and takes prayer requests and then prays together, well tonight was amazing.
Walls are coming down. It’s not easy to open yourself up, to be vulnerable. I remember thinking one night when I was on my way home this week about the group and about my previous post about my weight. I thought, “it’s nice to have group this week, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to share with them something as deeply personal –like my blog- as I can with my “blog group”.” You guys are so lucky! 
You get the unfiltered, fully me! I know-you’re thrilled!
I feel connected to you all. I feel that I can share things and you will still love me, I guess because I believe I am loved by you all and this group, doesn’t “love” me…yet.
The good thing, God did lead me to share that I’m struggling with my weight and trying to lose weight again. A lot of people opened up and we are growing as a group. It’s not easy. It’s personal. But it’s good. I know it’s what God wants for our church and I firmly believe that it’s the beginning of great growth. I’m glad to be a part of it.

It's incredibly difficult to share true personal struggles. Everyone has them, and the challenging ones are usually the ones that really make you vulnerable. I pray that what God has for you.
I am honored to be among your close friends.
