Triangles... Very simple... But can make life so complicated.
This has been one of the most conflict filled months! I know in everything that happens the Lord is teaching me something new (or even something I need to learn again). I just have a hard time seeing it in the moment.

How does this play into the conflict?
The situations that the Lord has allowed into my life in the last month have all involved two other people besides myself... hence the triangle shape. Each corner respresent one of us and the connection we have to each other.
I don't like being in the middle of other people's stuff and this has just been an unfortunate theme that has carried over into a few areas of my life. I have gotten better at conflict resolution since I got to college which is just a blessing from the Lord, for the simple fact that I would have no friends if I had not learned haha. I hate unnessassary conflict, that could be avioded.
What is the Lord trying to teach me through these situations:
1) He is in control of non-believers lives just as much as mine.
2) I must trust and obey; trust and obey.
3) I can't let other control the decisions I make for myself.
I am not upset that these things have happened when I actually sit back and think about how the Lord is going to use them to grow not only myself but my friendships and those involved in those friendships. Even if I am not the one who needs to learn someone is going to benefit, I just have to remember that not everything revolves around myself ;-)
