Hi Bro The triplet came into being as a result of a prophetic word at a christian camp, so I reckon it was a God-provided group. I came to share with the others because I needed to share with someone and I had grown to trust them. But I know it was with some trepidation - especially as one was the guy who heads up the Youth work. I think it happened because we were talking about the shortage of guys working with the youth, and I felt it was the opportunity of sharing why I couldn't work with them myself. It was scarey, but I was sure it was the right move. Also I think it was essential for our own mutual honesty. They had shared their problems and I couldn't not share mine and remain part of the triplet. A third reason was that I was breaking my own boundaries - no, not physical with anyone I know, but in other areas - and I wanted their prayers and support. Boundaries. I have asked them to challenge me as to what I have been up to in that particular area whenever they see me. That helps me to say "No" when temptation comes along - and it really does help. I still can't help admiring(!) a cute boy and I guess that admiration/attraction is a permanent part of me. But I find the brakes do stop any fantasising beyond that point. It is difficult to be more specific even on a board like this since it is too public. Bill Living in Light (hopefullY) |
