Do you ever feel like you just talk to much? I don't think this is a problem that most people have but man, it's me all over the place. I don't even feel like I shuld post this blog because in essence, it's me "talking AGAIN".
I have great friends that are most patient for sure. Every time I hang up the phone or get done "chatting" with someone I feel it. I have once again dominated the conversation. I can't shut up. I want to be a good listener and to some degree I think I am but it must come across to other people as being a know it all and "she can't even wait till I'm done talking to say something else"
I am totally convicted by this.... Brenda, be quiet, let others speak, you will learn a lot. Brenda, be quiet, let God speak to you. Brenda, be quiet, listen and let others share their burdens. Brenda, shut your mouth and don't make this awkward, you don't know everything.
I've always been a talker. I can go on for days probably and I most likely sound stupid for the ways I can go around in circles, most likely contradicting myself at every bend.
This is not being mean to myself or feeling "condemned" but just a writen reminder to put others first, that even means in conversation. Be selfLESS, realize my stories aren't always the best ones. Let other's wisdom fall on me. Let me learn from lives of friends, parents, coworkers and the like.
The end.
