Boundaries - Emily

Now this chapter was an easy read for me, but mostly due to out current season in life and many lessons learned the hard way. Again, where was this info 10 years ago when it would have benefited me so much more? But would I have even listened? And how many girls do I know out there who need this info right now? How can I be helping them??
Anyways, There isn't a whole lot I took away from this one since I don't have much contact at all with men outside of being with my husband. We are together as a family most everywhere we go so I feel 'guarded' because he is with me. And even when he isn't (grocery store, library, church) I have 4 little beautiful blue eyes watching my every move. If we're out on a walk and a male neighbor is outside I'll say hi as we pass but generally don't stop to "chat". I always wear my ring outside of the house and feel 'naked' if I happen to forget it. I don't think I have any male friends on Facebook that aren't mutual friends of ours. [Admittedly it did take me a while to get to that point because I didn't see a danger in being 'friends' with someone from grade school that I'd known forever... but because hubby was uncomfortable with it, I've honored him in that and don't regret it one bit]
I can imagine that this chapter has been more insightful for you two ladies who are working with men every day - I look forward to reading your reflections and will continue to life you both in prayer as we strengthen and increase our hedges for Godly purity.
