Having someone give you a reality check is a very humbling experience! I got mine yesterday...
When it first happened I will admit I almost got defensive, I wanted to say why it wasn't my fault, why it was everyone else's, but after re-reading it all and actually THINKING about it, this person was totally on pare! THAT will make you think...
I had to go back through the words this person shared with me over and over and it was like a punch to the gut. Had I really done that? Did I make this person feel this way? It was everything I never wanted to be. wow...
I immediately apologized, admitting fault and asking for forgiveness...
At the beginning of the year my goal was to be a better wife, mom and friend...this person is totally making me work on the friend part, and I am so glad they were able to just tell me what was bothering them...I really believe that God puts people in my life for a purpose, and I am glad that this person is in mine. I have got some things to work on....but I am happy to do it!
