I've been having lots of 1% days lately.
When I lived in Saskatchewan, there was one person that I could go to. He was my 'outside source'. He wasn't involved in any other part of my life - only in the capacity of talks we would have sometimes. We shared with each other about life and, mostly, about what God was doing in our lives. He was a converation outlet for me, and saved me from the depths of despair on many occasions - just by sharing on a mutual level. He was my 1% guy.
That is what I need now. I share lots with my husband, I share with my Pastor, and I talk to his wife. The problem is that they are all involved in my life so intricately that it's difficult for them to be objective and non-defensive about what I have going on inside. i know they care about me and want what's best, but there are times I just want to SHARE. Share means "to participate in, use, enjoy, or experience jointly or in turns." That's the kind of sharing I like. To experience jointly.
I just want to have someone in my life to share with on a common and mutual level, and in-person. I am seeking out a new 1% person - and if that grows into a deep friendship, that would be awesome!!
