truth

Truth, it's eternal right?  The truth will set you free, right?  Truth can also be difficult and painful.  I am hoping that I can speak truth well.  I've never been a good liar, ever, really.  Sometimes I have a hard time not telling the truth.  You know when someone gives you a compliment about an outfit and you feel the need to be honest in saying that it's a size bigger than your used to etc.  Little things like that that probably don't need to be said. I'm a bit of TMI kinda person.  Truth be know I don't really use acronyms like TMI often and when people text me sometimes I have no clue what they are saying because I don't speak acronyms well.  See there I go again, probably a little too much.

When I was a teenager a lady from church used to always tell me "when someone gives you a compliment you smile and accept it"  I've always had a hard time with that.  Sometimes I catch myself before saying something stupid that negates the compliment of a kind person.  Sometimes not.  It's a work in progress.

Recently life has been challenging to say the least and my thoughts have been turned towards truth and the burden that it can be to tell the truth.  In my mind I've battled with how to present the truth.  I've never thought about it's presentation so much before, I kinda blurt things out, sometimes a bit awkwardly.  I've realized that it's a skill I'd like to have, to "speak truth well".

 How does one acquire such a skill?  hmm, not sure but I'm keeping that as a goal for the time being.  What are your thoughts on the subject?

What's a blog these days?  Do people even read them anymore?  Just get on facebook and write what you ate for lunch, that's the important stuff anyway right?  Ok, maybe not but facebook is quick, easy and free.  It has it's appeal. 

So my life has been chaos these last couple months how about yours?  I feel I'd need to write a book in order to give it all to you so you're just going to have to use your imagination as to what that book would contain.  A little mystery, tragedy,romance, adventure?  Maybe some of it all. 

My goal is to get my life a bit closer to normal (whatever that is) and start doing things like posting on here more often.  Let me know if you're still out there willing to read my ramblings.
