Circle of Trust

Summarized my COTs from Friday and This mornings BC.

A couple weeks ago my niece came over to sleep over, and My wife and I noticed that she was quieter and more reserved than normal.  Instead of asking my neice how she is doing, and giving her an opportunity to open up to me, I did nothing and chalked it up to an 11 year old entering an ackward time in her life.  She was then at school this past Monday where they were doing Suicide screenings, and I found out she has a suicide pact with her friends, she has been cutting herself and pulling her hair out….. I wish I would have spoke up, talked to her, and see if I could get her to open up, maybe it works, maybe not, but i didnt even try….. if you see someone acting different than usual I hope you will do better than me and ask that person how they are doing, give them an opportunity to open up to you!!

If you get a chance to reach out to soft hands today please do, let him know that you are here for him
