Hummmm. I guess I wonder when it is that I stop rearranging my life for others who have never had me as a priority. I know that sounds a lot like a victim mentality and that is not my intention. A one-sided unbalanced situation is also not healthy for my life yet if I step back, I feel like then I am not being the good friend. This topic is not an easy one but needed :)
That's such a hard place. And, honestly, boundaries are SO important when it comes to friends. Being a good friend doesn't mean compromising your mental or emotional health, and friendship is absolutely a two-way street. If you find yourself only surrounded by friends to take and take and never give back, it may be time to step back from those friends and ask the Lord for some new ones.
Oh, this one convicts me of something from just earlier this afternoon . . .😅 So often I struggle with putting people in front of projects, so thanks for this reminder to be more of a friend.

It's a hard line to walk, that's for sure.
