Everyone is seeking a variation of the same thing in life. We are all seeking to find the piece of the puzzle that connects us to our purpose. For many of us, we have been searching for some time now for where we belong, who we are and someone who “get’s” us.
This is definitely true for myself I’ve yet to come across someone that get’s my lesli-ism’s…lol. Being such a introvert with a dash of only child syndrome, it’s understandably hard for some to figure me out or even realize that it’s not about them or even about how I feel about them and that the truth is I really just need time to recharge. In spite of the truth I find that being this way comes off as being indifferent or uninterested but this isn’t the case.( well,not all the time)
Over the years I’ve experienced a lot of one sided friendships and I haven’t been that great of a friend over last few years either, I pushed people away a lot. I’m going to keep it real , I am a bit jaded and it “seemed” less stressful to just isolate myself. But more than ever what I’ve learned this year is the value in having a solid circle of friends. Going through the process of being unemployed and my mother’s illness and so much more; It would’ve meant the world to me to have a circle of friends to vent to, pray with me, to laugh with or just to hang out to take my mind off of things. I’ve definitely learned to NEVER take for granted friendship.
9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9( NLT)
As believers we need each other life get’s hard and it is vital to have a support system in your life so you don’t lose your mind trying to go it alone. Moving forward my prayer is for discernment in making friends and the heart to allow people to befriend and love me.
Love, Lesli
