Falling Apart

Do you ever feel like you are watching someone fall apart before your very eyes?
Do you ever feel like you notice major changes in someone but you can't put your finger on it?

I'm having a hard time these days. I've noticed changes in myself. I feel more committed to my husband and my family than ever before. I'm very happy and comfortable with them, but I'm not happy and comfortable with myself. These are things I'm certainly working on, but what if you notice changes for the negative in others? How do you address that? I'm lucky enough  to have a few friends who may text me out of the blue and say "are you alright?". I just don't feel as if I'm bold enough to reach out. But what if what I said would save them from heartache and pain? What if what I said to them changed their life for the better? What if by my intervention, God could really work through me?

What am I so afraid of?

God is always on our side. Even when we mess up, He still loves us. Why can't I allow that love to flow through me to be bold enough to reach out to the ones I love in their time of need?

Just some thoughts I'm pondering.
