Sometimes It’s Lonely

During this journey, people come and go. “People are in your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime” is something I first heard from a good friend of mine. Nowadays, I believe it to be more true than when she first said it years ago.

I’m alone on this part of my journey. I’m also a little lonely. Not having someone present and missing the presence of others at the same time is something I’ve often experienced. Yet, even with knowing the differences I’m totally at peace with both.

This portion of my sojourn is mine and mine alone. It’s time to knowingly walk with my Creator. He has been and always will be my constant companion. When no others are present, when I’m lonely, He is here. His presence, although constant, is something I’m not always cognizant of. At times, I often forget my trials. I frequently focus on the present and what’s ahead.

This morning though, I am conscious of His presence. I don’t feel it, but I know it. I know it through my actions and my words. I know. Others who know require no further authentication.

Today, Friday, June 17, 2022, I am grateful that:

Lee and I got a chance to visit yesterday afternoon. He’s in an interestingly dangerous situation which has proven beneficial for us both. We crafted an agreement and will execute that plan later today.

I was able to recognize the part Dale played in putting the deal together. I spoke with him and also sent a message to ensure he knew how grateful I was for his contribution.

My ego didn’t block a blessing. My housing situation will be remedied within two to three days and it won’t change anytime in the near future. It’ll provide some benefits, such as consistency.

Are you willing to go it alone?

How do you recognize those parts of your journey meant to be endured alone?

Do you know the difference between being lonely and being alone?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
