while in gainesville the other day i was able to catch up with a good friend at a pan­era. in catch­ing up we talk about life, reli­gion, and most per­plex­ingly, girl­friends. LOL

while its no secret that men have a defi­ciency in being sen­si­tive, detailed and all things women related; it should come with no sur­prise that inevitably, dis­agree­ments hap­pen and some­times arguments.

what i loved about dis­cours­ing with a fel­low brother in a sim­i­lar sit­u­a­tion (not to men­tion at one point sim­i­lar cir­cum­stance), is that the more we shared of the ‘prob­lems’ in our respec­tive rela­tion­ships, the more we real­ized that they weren’t really prob­lems; just the dif­fer­ences between man and woman being real­ized. in talk­ing it out we also refer to other sis­ters’ advice in under­stand­ing the things girls find dis­turb­ing, and guys find illog­i­cal. piec­ing together the puz­zle we real­ize our often thought griev­ances were in real­ity gaps in under­stand­ing of the sexes. & through our sim­i­lar­i­ties in chal­lenges; affir­ma­tion, brother to brother.

i think that in know­ing that youre not alone in some­thing, gives a sense of com­fort that youre not some­where God doesnt want you. & for some peo­ple, that youre not an out­cast in a world that is ‘per­fect’. broth­er­hood. sis­ter­hood. God’s tools to affirm us that He is def­i­nitely present around us, through us, in us.
