Thursday’s Trench Truth







Welcome to Coffee Hour @ Chicklit Power and Trench Classes United. It’s Trench Truth day! Grab whatever you’re having and come in for a quick moment of truth and encouragement for your soul.
I am thoroughly enjoying our current trench class as we delve into finding our identity without chaos and confusion. The information we are learning is so transforming…shocking in a gentle sort of way, and incredibly freeing.

I shared on Tuesday about buying into the lie that “sameness” means closeness, and trying to be like the one you’re with is like becoming a human pretzel! And yet, there is to be an intertwining, if you will, of ourselves with the ones we love – not just romantically, either! J

What does that look like? I’m so glad you asked! Here are some characteristics of healthy intertwining:

·         When each person in the relationship – any relationship takes two people – ideally stands alone with the privilege of the giving and taking to and from the other.

·         Each person wanting, not demanding the other to care for them while realizing they don’t have to; they get to!

·         Each person choosing to care for the other and choosing to let them care for you…
This is healthy interdependence! Oh, to be healthily entwined, perfectly interdependent!

Love,

Evinda
