I’m sorry that our culture and/or people around us don’t always allow the whole story to be shared, the full picture to be viewed or to entertain the full perspective of one view of the world.
My mom always says, “listen to everyone’s advice; then do what you want.” So, my prayer for you is that you are encouraged through it, that you find a way to say what you want to, that you have a refreshed view of the audience you serve and that it is all helpful to you in the end.
