Isn't that an awesome title? I just thought of the phrase today. I NEED something by that title. But for now I'm just claiming it as my own. Hopefully one day it'll turn into a book.

"Bubble wrap for the heart" is a more apropos phrase, but I think it would make most people would think of going through broken relationship after broken relationship, which is not at all what I'm talking about. Or people might sneer at it and go, "Oh, yuck, one of those mushy-gushy authors. I already hate this book." (I'm pretty sure I would.)

But what I mean is, bubble wrap for the soul is what I need when I go out into the world. Because the world pricks and slices and stabs and leaves deep wounds and sometimes scars. That's what life is like as an HSP; especially an introverted HSP.

I've met another HSP, by the way, an extraverted one. Her name is Laurie and she is on the Marriage Ministry Team. I like her a lot because I understand her.

But that's neither here nor there.

I know that my identity in Christ should be my bubble wrap for my soul, so that the pricks and slices and stabs don't hurt as badly. But I'm just not sure how to make that theory work in practicality, as I've tried to tell Stephen many times.

I don't think I'll dwell on this longer. I've been wrestling with depression today (thank you, gray skies, and the worst epsiode of "Jericho" watched last night). But I just wanted to write down my idea somewhere so I can come back to it one day. :)
