Jordan, “I learned that there is a time to listen, and a time to speak. Not everyone is open about their struggles, and that’s ok. It’s a process for each of us. Sometimes we need to see the courage and boldness of another individual, confessing his sins and struggles, to feel comfortable sharing our lives with one another. It can be hard to trust someone you don’t know well with your heart.
