I’m at a level of peace that I’ve never experienced in my 42 years of life. I recently went to a stress management seminar where we had to create a self-compassion statement for ourselves. Mine was: Don’t second guess the happiness you feel.
While on this new, consistent, and constant life high, it seemed like things slowly began to fall apart in the lives of people I care deeply about. Because you know, Satan is eager to attack other areas of your life when you are prospering in one that has been stagnant. Intent on balancing what I felt, and the things happening around me I spoke in detail with my therapist about everything going on.
The following day my son had a necessary but painful breakthrough in his own session. That night I wept long and hard. It was as if everything that had been going on with everyone else could no longer be contained in my heart and mind. It was in that moment that God showed me exactly what my son had been feeling. Here I am surrounded by people who love and support me unconditionally yet longing for a partner to share my ups and downs with in an intimate nature.
Now I get it. He shares that same village type of love yet aches for the love of the one person who refuses to give it to him, his dad. I feel helpless in that aspect and ask you to join me in praying that he is able to gain the same peace I have attained. Pray also for me, to be reminded that God’s timing is perfect and to trust the process. Love y’all.
