Hello,
Is anyone a part of a small group at their church? I have been a part of a small group for about 3 years now, but I'm starting to feel a bit discouraged. I am a very open person. I share my struggles and victories with our group. Small groups are a place where believers can encourage and pray for one another. However many people in my small group are very private. I have been praying for these individuals, but have not seen much change. It's hard to be vulnerable with people who don't share their lives. I am getting to the point where I am becoming a bit resentful about it. I want to be able to be there for people, but it's hard to do that when people don't share their lives. I feel like I want to shut down because they seem to be comfortable speaking into my life, but they are not willing to put themselves out there. There are only two people in my group that share their lives and it's been a blessing. I am feeling uncomfortable around the people who don't share. It's sad that one of the people who don't share is the facilitator of the small group. Today I actually sent an email out pouring my heart with the group. I feel like I said it in love. I am just not sure how they will take it. Has anyone ever experienced this before?
