My Single Suitcase {Blowing Up Evangelical Baggage}
Hello lovely people! My friend Jane Halton asked me to contribute a piece to her Blowing Up Evangelical Baggage series. I'm proud of it and it would be an honor to have you read it. I'll be responding to comments over there, if you're inclined to enter the conversation. Also, if you're keeping count, you may feel free to consider this your Single Minded Monday for the week.
Happy Friday, friends.
That day, as I ate my weekly youth group hamburger, I listened to the drummer comfort his friend as we stood, a circle of three. “It’s amazing how a girl can reach into your chest, rip out your heart, throw it on the ground, stomp on it and grind it around in the dirt and then hand it back to you and tell you that she still wants to be friends.”
It has been years since I heard those words, and I have never forgotten them. I vowed then that I would never make anyone feel so used, so hurt.
