Who do we trust?

"When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly"  Proverbs 31:26

I trust the Lord, my husband, and four others with everything, although only the Lord, my husband, and "spiritual sponsor" know EVERYTHING.

I suggest everyone have a "spiritual sponsor" or mentor.  One who  can admit their mistakes and who will not judge you, only counsel you with yours.  I met mine about a year and a half ago.  I know the Lord placed her in my path at a very specific point in time.  She is the one that has fasted and prayed for me, and offers wisdom and places in the Bible to find it.  However she lives 3 hours away and it's next to impossible to grab a cup of coffee.

So that leads me to my two girls that are my lifter of hands right now.  These two ladies are lifting my hands when I can't.  They are the ones I confide the good, bad and ugly in right now.  They listen and then offer counsel.  They don't speak negatively of anything I bring to them and are supportive of every decision I make.

Then there's my BFF and she is food for my soul.  Anytime spent with her is refreshing and light.  I leave feeling better then when I left.  She loves me know matter what. and is ALWAYS on MY side whether I am right or wrong.

So here is where the verse applies...How do I talk about my husband with these people?  Is it always positive or do I cast him in a negative light to them? I think the words out of my mouth should never be of anger or frustration.  I should never make him look bad to another person.  If I speak negatively out of anger then I cloud the perspective of whoever I am speaking with against my husband.  Is this really going to help me in the long run?

Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

Yes this is what I will do my best to work on right now.
