Dilemma #1: Practice or sleep/eat/do homework.
There is never an easy answer to this because there is always something else that I should be doing with my time and there is always someone who thinks that I should prioritize their assignment over everyone else’s.
Dilemma #2: Answer the question “how are you” candidly or give a generic, superficial answer.
This is definitely something that I have struggled with for a long time because on the one hand, it is socially acceptable to give superficial answers such as “fine,” “good,” or “okay.” But, on the other, there is an opportunity to stand alongside others in whatever it is that others may be going through.
Simply, I have a difficult time being initially genuinely candid. This has been made apparent over the course of my lifetime, but especially after I have traveled abroad and being encouraged to share how I truly was. Some of it comes from feeling like my sharing is burdensome for others, and some from not feeling like others genuinely care. While this is not every reason, these are the major two.
Prayer Requests:
- willingness to share how I am genuinely doing,
- the Dominican Republic, and
- raising financial support over this next year (specifically monthly donors).
My Asks:
- ask me how I really am doing the next time I see you, and
- consider supporting me financially by purchasing a sticker or t-shirt.
Thanks,
Angie Moore
