Down Trodden

The last week has been hard for me. Not for any particular reason but a combination of a few things here and there; mostly just life. Anyways, I was thinking how I could help pick myself backup. I thought about visiting my friend Danyale and talking while the kids play outside. I thought about calling my friend Robin to plan a lunch date. But when I get down it's hard for me to do these things which is really unfortunate because that's when I need them. So I made lunch. As the food was in the microwave, I said my prayer because it's habit to do so before eating. But the second I thought, Dear Heavenly Father, I felt an overwhelming spirit of love. And I knew I had been looking in all the wrong places. And the reality of His love and part in my life hit me, right when I needed it.  I still feel down, but I know I'm not alone. I can feel his spirit in my house, all around me. I'll be ok. Tomorrow I might even feel awesome. Today, I'm ok.

What a beautiful thing to notice. I've been overwhelmed with many life events hitting at once as well. Also longing for the connection of friends. But just not up to it. I, too, have found myself in His arms in my loneliness. I may not have gotten there if I'd been out and about with friends. I needed to be quiet and need Him. Thanks for helping me see that. And when you are ready, that lunch date sounds wonderful.

Love you. Thanks for being my friend. And for teaching me so much.
