say what you need to say...

so my advice to those of you who are debating whether or not to speak your mind to someone...maybe there's a friendship you need to mend or a relationship you feel is beginning...whatever it might be you are going through that you're not sure if you should speak up...you should. i don't usually follow john mayer's words in his music...but say what you need to say is my new motto (sort of). from a Christian perspective, you obviously need to pray about the situation, but then if a door is opened and the Lord is leading you through it, you go with gut and say what you need to say. so, john mayer, this post is a tribute to you- thanking you for your wise advice to us young people who may be too timid or over-analyzing to say what's weighing on our hearts.
Have no fear for givin' in.Have no fear for giving over.You better know that in the endIt's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.Even if your hands are shaking,And your faith is broken.Even as the eyes are closin',Do it with a heart wide open.Say what you need to say
ALSO---unrelated quote from beth moore that goes along with job 23:10---"whenever you feel like you've lost your way or you don't know where to go from here, my Friend, take heart! He knows the way that you take. stand still, cry out, and bid Him to come to you! He'll lead you on from there and miraculously, when once again you see the light, you'll be able to see the footprints you made in the dark. never will He hold your hand more tightly than when He is leading you through the dark".
ps- blissful day: walk to kroger, p90x video, deep cleaned poplar all day, clean sheets, wrote a few letters, studied this morning and tonight, bonded with the roomies, ate homemade rolls/gooey brownies/chicken casserole, made a snowman named jasper.
