UCC Interview Info 4

Question 2
a) Describe your relationships with the significant people in your life. To whom do you reach out for support?

YAY! I get to talk about the people  love!
Oh God! I have to talk about the people that I love.

Dear God, help me talk about the people that I love.

I'm a keeper. If you walk into my life and affect me, I keep you. My friends and family are the most incredible people on the planet. I know that I said that I am on the other end of the phone at 3 am if you need me, but my people are there too. Anytime I have reached out for a hug, shoulder or sounding board they are here for me. They are strength and support, they are love and comfort. I believe the friends you chose are a reflection of who you are, Everything that I believe myself to be, I know my friends to be and more.
I think that when you decide you want to go into ministry you expect skepticism and questions, I know I expected a lot of questions from my eclectic group of friends. My friends and family unanimously were behind me and are engaged in the process. Their interest encouraged me to blog what it happening in my life as I go through the Discernment process and into school. In fact, in the moments when I write "what am I doing?" they are the first ones to remind me why I am here and why they think I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I am grateful everyday for their presence and support. The people that make up my friends come from all times and stages in my life. Elementary and High School, University, Church, Theatre and Work. Some I have known since I was 4 and others I've know for a year.
My family is is the biz, so to speak. I feel so far from them sometimes physically, but they are always close when I need them to be even if it's on the phone. My husbands family has embraced me like I am blood and protect me and love me with the same fierceness they do each other. I am so grateful for them.
My husband - my husband. He asks the right questions, challenges me to think critically and would support me in anything as long as he thought it wouldn't be damaging to myself and the family. I've made a commitment to my family and they will always come first, and they have committed to me that they will help me however they can.
I make friends easily but those closest to me, they are my world.
