Let the Negotations Begin

I am searching for words to give the correct picture of the transition which I am going through, and nothing really seems to fit in my mind other than negotations. I have visual image in my mind of a large table where I sit with others and we send pieces of papers across to one another.

I can give three hours to this project on Tuesday.

I can let you see two inches deep into my heart.

I want to have breakfast with you, but we have to meet at the train station.

My life has taken on a new shape, new local, and many new relationships. I try to steer clear of overpromising my time and underdelivering. I try to carve out space for those who I want to get to know better. I am trying to give words to the difficult discussions which have to happen; and to let others see me without giving my heart away.

I am negotating new terms on my life.

I wanted this post to be a purpose-oriented how-to about intentionally investing in relationships; but as I sought advise to give I realized I am in desperate need of advise myself. I am seeking a way to invest wisely in those around me. I want to prioritize, to love freely and some how do both without becoming a maniac. I want to be a good friend and servant. I desire for time and good will to act cohesively.

I want to go where I am invited.

I want to know where to put my bids.

Continuing the adventure, 

Jessica

    I love that you have developed this deep awareness. An intentional posture that is obviously causing you to conduct an emotional & spiritual inventory. From this post and our recent conversation it seems as though you are putting into practice "loving your neighbor as yourself". We often focus on he neighbor piece without going back to the "how" part, which is the way in which we are to care for ourselves. Beautiful.
