I want to say something and I am afraid to say it.
I am just a few weeks away from graduating with a Masters in Conflict Resolution and there are some conflicts I still do not want to engage in. It causes me to start running through a mental checklist of whether I am avoiding the conflict because I am afraid or avoiding it because now is not the time to engage. Or maybe I am accommodating a relationship by giving in to what I think will sustain relationship with another party rather than risk changing the relationship.
I am in a quandary. I have been here before. I am sure I will be here in the future. I like to know all the possibilities of an action before I take it. Heck, I usually want to know the answer before I ask the question.
I don’t know the answer right now.
What a way to start the weekend.
On a bright note, it’s the start of March Madness and Opening Day is just weeks away. At least I have something to focus on while trying to answer the question before I ask it.
Grace and peace.
I resonate with you here. I like to know the answer and if the conflict will be resolved before asking or entering a discussion. Your post made me think if that is how it should be, or if I need to trust God to work in the situation. Being informed is beneficial but I believe I often want too much information, which is something I need to consider and pray about.
Thanks for getting me thinking.
Blessings
