Relationship Advice

Hmmm what to write ...what to write. I walked out of my door tonight and was hit with amazing smells from my mother's garden, fresh clear night ...and I wasn't freezing.

Spring.

It seriously does wonders for my soul.  I love Spring.

The first two days of the season have been pretty epic days. I could list details of yesterday but let's just say... I saw an echidna at work!! Need I say more... it was awesome. I was excited!

And today....well wow! I left the house at 7 am and am now sitting down to rest at 10:45 pm. Such a great day! Just got home from catching up with such a gorgeous girl- ahh she makes me smile. God's daughters are incredible creatures- the world underestimates their strength!

She lead me to ponder the following thoughts... Basically centered on this...

Relationship advice.

Haha...it still makes me chuckle. 

I've had increasingly more and more young girls chat to me about there frustrations, hurts and pains with the boys in their life, asking for advice- seeking answers.

I do my best, I guess most people just need someone to listen to right and encourage them... build them up. I always laugh though as to why they'd seek advice from me.. when I haven't had a relationship in the past 6 or so years. Surely people IN a relationship have a better chance of giving more convincing and real advice and encouragement than what i could offer...right?

Well no... I guess I disagree. As i thought about it. I have plenty of advice. Plenty of experience to draw from. Not only does years of listening and observing friend's relationships prove to be worth something. I've managed to continually mature and fall more and more in love, in a relationship based on faith.

I am content on focusing significant effort into my r'ship with God so that when the day comes, my cord of three strands will be tight as tight can be. I believe it to be the foundational relationship that every human relationship should be based on... and after 8 years of growing, seeking, loving, learning, struggling and celebrating....

I guess I do have just a little advice to offer.

Now that I've reinstated some confidence in my own ability...

Continue to ask away... and i'll do my best xox
