Me:  How are your pig friends?

Prodigal:  They are good.

Me:  I hope they are the good kind and not the bad kind.

Prodigal:  You should tell me more.

 

This is from the book  In the Middle of the Mess by Sheila Walsh

 

There is freedom in confessing out loud to a trusted sister who will love you and pray for you and hold you accountable to the life you want to live.  But I urge you to be wise.  Be careful whom you choose to share your story with and confess your sins to.  Jesus said, “Don’t throw your pearls to pigs!  They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you”  (Matthew 7:6).  In other words, don’t take what’s holy and sacred to you and give it those who may use it against you.  That’s why I urge you to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to the right women.  When you find those safe sisters, you’ve found the place to continue to be saved,  to be the authentic you.  It won’t always be easy, but it will always be worth it.

 

 

And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

Numbers 16:28
