Masks can be good... sometimes

There is a weight and I'm good at wearing a mask. Sometimes there are things that you can't talk to anyone about except God. I really think that's good though. A lot of people think that you have to have at least one person with whom you share everything and that is a great theory, but its just that, a theory. I just think that God is supposed to be my best friend and while you are allowed to have more than one best friend (yes you can Michelle!), God has precedence over all of my humanly relationships.
There are just somethings that God is better at dealing with, obviously. It's not that I can't depend on my earthly friends, though... don't get me wrong. I love that I can bring anything to my God and not be judged. This is not a slam at all. This is to say that we are humans and therefore imperfect. There are things in our lives that we don't like to talk about because they might be embarrassing or something and this is where the Lord comes in. We don't have to be ashamed before Him because He has taken our shame away. Why did Christ die, if but to bring us to God?
I don't really know where I'm going with this other than the fact that I think it is ok to wear a mask... sometimes. Again, this is not to say that it is okay to keep things bottled up or something like that because really, you need to be working through things with God. Its one thing to say that you are working on it with God, but its quite another to actually be doing it.
I just want to encourage you to really rely on the Lord. This isn't something that comes easy for me all the time. In writing this I'm reminding myself where I need to be. It is easy to lose out on some amazing time with Him when you are surrounded by amazing, supportive people, but we can't allow that to happen. God is the Great Provider. Let Him be that for you.
