I enjoy writing about relationships. It’s something I failed at so many times that it’s not hard for me to share with people what does and doesn’t work. I’m working on a project, and it’s about relationships. I chose the topic for several reasons.
The first reason was because I really felt that God was not only showing, but sharing amazing things with me about relationships.
The second reason was because I have made so many mistakes in my own relationships. I feel like it is beneficial to let others not go into a relationship blind, thinking that some of the things I tried to pull are a part of a real loving relationships.
My third reason was for accountability. For me, this is the toughest one. I’m being held accountable for the rest of my life for what I decide to say in this book. It’s both exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. My future husband will have documented proof of the promises I’ve made even before meeting him.
So many times I’ve battled with feeling like I had no right to share anything about relationships. I’m not married, I’m not dating anyone, and I haven’t had very successful relationships. But, the best lessons in life come from the worst of circumstances. I’d rather share what I know will help someone and have them feel like I had no right to do so, than to sit quietly with information someone did need.
If the worst critique I ever receive is that I have no right to share what I share, and I know and they know it’s useful information, I can live with that.
