If anyone sees this can ya'll pray for me this morning.  I'm sorry to be vague.  I thought about writing something here about this situation all week, but I just couldn't get my thoughts straight.  But, I need to talk with someone this morning at church.  It has to do with me setting boundaries and now the fallout from that.   I've not always been great at this and I know I bare some responsibility  but I'm sad, hurt, and frustrated that I've been put into this position by the person I set a boundary with.  

I don't want to cry but I've been on the verge of tears all week.  I don't have anyone at church to talk with about it since it involves someone there.  I will talk with my priest after the fact, but I felt like this week I needed to be my own person and stand up for myself.   Now I feel like a puddle of emotions. 

pray for me that I can communicate well and that I don't cry.  The person I need to speak with isn't the person I set a boundary with.. It's someone who has been put in the middle by the other person.  Ugh.

Thanks guys.  @Carol in Cal.  You might have been praying at exactly the right time!

Sorry I didn't come back, but we had choir practice right after church and then I had band practice here at my house after that.  I didn't speak to him until after choir practice. 

First off:  I didn't cry!!  Whoot.  

During liturgy I was praying about it and I realized that I just needed to say it short and simple and not try to over explain or bring anything else into the situation.  Just say what I needed to be said.   It went very smoothly and he basically made it sound like he's going to drop it.  I was really surprised and was prepared to try and make my case if he tried to make me change my mind, but he didn't.  He was very kind and understanding. 

Thanks again for your prayers and kind thoughts
