My insecurities are a result of hurtful relationships with my parents and a presvious marriage. Personal boundaries have been crossed as a youth leading me to question my value which resulted in me being too focused on performance when it comes to relationships. I believed that I could not make a mistake and when I did I am quick to make an excuse or to explain the reason for the mistake all the while not accepting and owning the mistake and trying to learn from it. When Brad talked about what Paul said about value statements versus observations made by others, it really hit home for me. A lot things became more clear about myself. I take simple observations as value statements. Reallizing this and changing the way I receive observations has had a positive impact on relationships just in the past few weeks. Thank you Brad and Wayne for sharing your lives and the relationships you two have with others. The perspectives and insights you two share has had a real positive impact on my life with God.
