the bad reflective kind...
Has been an eventful past few days to say the least.
Thursday and Friday have answered questions... not in ways that I wanted, but rather in exactly the opposite fashion. Its kinda frustrating - its very frustrating! But those are the bricks that life throws. I'm not 100% on what to do. It's left me with a whole bunch of questions about what I am like... none of which I really have answers for, some of which i'm not sure that I do want answer sfor. It's also left me in a particularly awkward situation with a person I consider to be a good friend... and quite frankly from the past few days - it looks like both of us really have no idea how we should be reacting to each other.
When things get awkward - I tend to be a bull by the horns man. sit down talk it out very calmly and patiently - plan exactly what you want to say and say it! Trust the other person implicitly, that they, like you want nothing more than to fix whatevers in the way. that they don't want to do you any harm whatsoever. That being said - it's a scary thing to do... I'm not sure whether to simply let it blow over - and act all wierd - but I'm just not good at not fixing things... my entire natural response is to fix anything that needs fixing.
is this a wrong thing? is this just bravado male coming through? Am I just stupid and confusing?
The Lord is my rock and salvation. In him I stand firm.

I don't think it's stupid and confusing to want to fix things. Take what God did for us, for example. I think it's a good and natural thing to want things fixed, however the solution might be brought about somewhat differently to what you expect sometimes.
Your good friendship with this person kind of justifies trusting them implicitly to want things fixed too. Sometimes the bull-by-the-horns method will work wondrously, but sometimes the nurture-the-wounded-calf approach will be the one to bear the most fruit. It's hard to tell from the word Go which one will work best, though you can bet your bottom dollar that acting weird won't solve a thing.
If there's one thing I've learned over the last week and a half it's that God answers questions. Questions about what you are like must be some of the hardest to deal with, but He will help you deal with the answers.
There's no firmer place to stand! I think if it ever feels otherwise, it's because our legs are wobbly. He's a big rock though, so even if you fall over you can't fall off!
