There is nothing like seeing your own mother go through this, and I am thankful for you that you are able to glean so much from the experience already. I still sting from my mother’s same journey down the same path…have not nearly come so far as you.

I am thankful to be learning from you.

i imagine human thinking as cloudy thinking — mucking up the truth with our own fears, desires, hurts, etc. i’m always struck by how you seem to cut through the cloudy thinking by speaking what is true about God and our relationship with him.

thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks so much for sharing a snapshot of your journey. I have been thinking alot about the whole interdependence concept. I really want to be the type of person that has real belief (not just theoretical belief or lip service belief) that I need others in interdependence.

So, here is a question (or two) for everyone: What prevents us from living interdependent lives? What even does a call to interdependence mean?

I think what prevents me from living a truly interdependent life is that I feel insecure about being the person with “the need”- or the person that needs to be able to depend on someone else. It feels risky.

I imagine many things come to different people’s minds. I think it might be surprisingly insightful and helpful for us to share them and talk about them.
