What would the world be like if everybody were brutally honest. Instead of hiding behind insecurities.
What if when you asked somebody how they felt today, they might tell you that they deeply wanted to talk to you, but were afraid you would reject them?
What if people did not lie, and were truely held accountable for their actions? So many of the problems the world had would disappear, and true character and integrity could be found as a wellspring.
Lies are the blanket that cover sin, and the mask that allows us to suffer alone.

Will Chatman
I was talking to my good friend sydney tonight and she helped me realize quite a bit. Today has been a glorious eye opener to me today.
Its been a bit of a painful day. The one i love so dearly seems to all but hate me, and i'm powerless to do anything but accept it. I'm having to learn how to lay down the desire to be understood, and just let her leave. I've made a ton of mistakes with her and continue to make more. and as much as I would hope for her to be understanding and give second chances, I'm pretty sure she is gone for Good.
I'm starting to try to listen to older and wiser people than me. I asked my friend william chatman today about marriage and the hardest thing he had to learn. His answer was something I have been learning already quite a bit, but quite predictable. "I'm learning to not be selfish and put her needs before mine. " HOW true good man!
What I mainly took from our talk was what he said about business. Even when we own and run our own business, or no matter where we work, we are stewards of what God has given us, and we work for him... he is our boss. so we must remain diligent. God designed us to be diligent.
