I know it's hard to see through everything and see clearly when you're young. Emotions are flying sky high, stomachs are hurting, and your self esteem is challenged. It's adversity at its best. How do you handle yourself after going through such a difficult time in your life? How do you face the other in school, class or in a dorm? What are your true colors? What type of relationship do I want in the future?
For some today, it was the break up after a 'first love'. Those are never easy. Finding out who you are alone can be a challenging road. A challenge I feel builds girls self confidence. They reach out to friends and friends reach out to them. They also prove who are your good friends. Who will say sorry and comfort you? Who will huge you? Who will listen? And maybe even who will ignore you? It may even open your eyes in how to treat others when they have to wall in your shoes.
I was a sounding board for a few players and maybe even former players today. Ironically. I watched females show some true colors today. It made me happy to see that female students are growing each day. They are facing hard ships in their lives. They are spreading their wings and growing without their parents guidance.
Now don't get me wrong, I feel badly for those who are hurting. My heart aches for them. I wish I could take it away, but I know they have to climb life's mountains and get stronger. Life isn't easy. God has a plan for all of us which includes happy and sad times.
I share this with a few of these girls today. I truly believe this verse.
I'm thankful today for the growing that comes with break ups. I pray their hearts heal quickly. I'm also thankful that each of them feel they can share their triumphs with me.
