About Me

I created this blog as a way to keep friends and family updated on my life and how I've been doing since moving away from the only place I've ever known: a small, 530 population town, to a large city! There have been a lot of ups, and a lot of downs, but through it all I've been trusting Christ, and learning what true faith means and what it really looks like...

It's a trust thing....

Trust. It's such an interesting word. But it's not just a word; it has TRUE value. It's an action that we bestow upon others. For some people, trust is an instant connection. For others, it takes time and commitment. But for all, it is something that can be shattered in a matter of seconds; maybe to never be built up again, or maybe with time it can be earned back. Trust. So much impact for such a small 5 letter word.

So what happens when our trust in someone is broken? Well, first off, we feel instant anger. Questions raging through our mind; Why. How long has this been going on. What else have they done to wrong me. Then, slowly, the hurt sinks in. Starts to tear at you bit by bit until you feel just utterly defeated. How are you supposed to rise again from such a low blow? And in a lot of cases, it's not always the actions that harm the fragile bond of trust, but the deceitfulness of those actions. The sneakiness.

So, now that we have gone through the stages of hurt, ending finally at acceptance, what are we supposed to do? That's a great question. Right now- just pray, think about it, wonder how to approach it, and hopefully move on without too many scars.

Loving thoughts,
Girl With No Name
