the glue.
sometimes I feel like it's my responsibility to make sure that everything flows perfectly.
with my friendships, I sometimes don't say anything because I don't want to disturb the peace.
with my family, I feel pressure to make sure that everyone has warm fuzzy feelings for each other so that our time together is edifying and beneficial to all.
it freaks me out a bit. I understand that realistically I cannot do much to prevent or encourage things from going the way they are intended to go and life is so much bigger than what I can contribute or control.
as I was thinking all these thoughts earlier this line came into my head: "you hold all things together" and I googled it to help me remember where in the bible I had read that before.
Colossians 1:16-17
"For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together ."
