Is there someone that we should share our lives with?

Meditate on Psalm 84 as a personal prayer.

Building relationships with others is essential. Sharing our lives with others is a part of that, if we are going to be able to openly and honestly build true relationships with others. In building relationships, we are automatically modeling for others.

I really liked what Yates wrote about Christian homes not being where perfect parents live. They don't look down on others who are also imperfect. It is not a place where you will observe perfect behabior.(pg 168-kind of skipping a little to the next chapter, but it still goes with this topic) We cannot put on a mask for others. We need to be real. We all make mistakes and have strengths and weaknesses--and that is OK. Some things that I have leanred from some of my role models is in watching how they handle themselves and the situation when they fail or make a mistake.
