Why do Good Things Make Me Cry?
I just got off the phone with a man who has been a friend for about 4 years. He's a lawyer. I called him for free legal advice because he's smart. He hooked in a friend of his who is an expert on the matter I was calling him about. Within minutes I had the legal verbal ammo that I need to present tomorrow night at the meeting about my screen door.
But more than that, I know that if the battle that is fought tomorrow night isn't a "win", they will rally behind me with a "lawyer letter."
After chit chatting for about a minute and an abrupt ending (hey, he's a busy man and I like abrupt phone calls, regardless), I hung up the phone and was all choked up. Why? I got what I needed, legal support, emotional support ...
Why am I so stunned when my friends support me? Why do I get emotional when someone comes through for me? How did I come to believe I am so alone? Intellectually, I know that I am never alone. But, it seems my heart has trouble believing that.
Proverbs 3:
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

I believe that there is a mentality nowadays that desires the individual to become a victim of some sort. There is nothing wrong with having faith in your family and friends.
You are right about it being okay to rely on friends and family. It's hard for me to do. I don't know that it's a "victim" thing, I think it leans more towards the fear of being let down. You know?
I understand your fear of being let down. That's why I didn't date until I was in college. It just got to the point where I said, Life's too short. If I get let down, fine. I've got other places to go, other women to meet, other things to do. Enjoy the time you're given. Don't be afraid.
