What do you do when your 'safe place', is so far away?
Athan is my safe place, my safe person. I can tell him anything and know he will listen and not condemn. He will not judge. If needed, he'll speak truth to me. But he gives me time to process out loud first, something I desperately need.
But while he's gone, the most I can do is send him an email. And hope he has a chance to read it before too many days go by. And then has time to call me.
It's so hard, when I feel so much like I need someone to talk to. I don't feel like I can share these issues with friends, even close friends, because it involves other people and I don't want to slander or gossip.
Praying Athan can call me tonight... I desperately need it. I'm ready to hightail it back to SC right now. But I know that would be hard too.
