Rebecca, I'll let Joanne answer you herself, but I thought I'd share my experience. . . there is someone who is in my life who has harbored resentment for 8 years now because I tried to encourage her when she was bf'ing her first dd. I was excited we had something in common, but we didn't. As soon as her doctor told her the baby was 6 months and she could switch her to whole milk and stop nursing, and I shared that this was bad information, it was filed away that I had "attacked" her mothering and I've never been forgiven.
There was also a time when I was younger that I wanted to share what I'd learned with everyone and help them not have to learn the hard way like I had. I had nothing but the best of intentions and even a very gentle way of sharing--but I was accused of being judgmental and arrogant. One day the Lord asked me who I thought I was--if I was Him. He asked me why I thought it was okay for me to learn the hard way but no one else could learn the way they needed to.
Ever since then I've tried to live my life in a genuine way, share information with people who ask, and know that the information I found is out there for anyone who looks, and I can't make people want to look. The peace that has brought me is immense, and not a day goes by that the Lord doesn't bring me in contact with either someone who wants to learn what I want to share, or wants to share what I want to learn.
