Messy

Over the past few days I've been thinking about this... courtesy of a few sweet friends... don't we all just try to HIDE our "mess"... whatever it is? We fake Facebook, we bring people in through our front door instead of our basement, we fake "I'm fine", we put forth what everyone WANTS to see because let's be honest... no one wants to pay $8 to go see a movie about REAL LIFE. We want the happy ending... not the part of money troubles, relationship struggles, or kiddos who fight and misbehave. I wonder... what would happen if we opened the "closet"? Worth a conversation?

I'm done with fake…bring on the real life, messiness and all.
How about this little gem from James…
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16
I think this means we need to be showing our "secret closet" to close friends!

We can't bear one another's burdens if we don't know what they are!
