I’ve been living here for about 3 years now yet there are times I face difficult days being not close to my family. I am not able to just drive to nor have the money to fly every 2 months to hang out with them. I only could visit my family once year and I have to say that’s not enough sometimes.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m old enough to stand on my own two feet and be responsible young adult. Also of course, I have friends who become my 2nd family. There are many young adults who live extremely far away from their parents and love to be so independent. I don’t care what people say. It is way different being with your flesh and blood family or relatives in that matter. I, for one, though love the company of my family. It’s important to me and I guess it’s in our culture!
The point is I found myself enduring difficult circumstances like this one and get discouraged with the direction of my day or life in general. It’s honestly hard-hitting to know when you’re alone and the one person knows you inside and out is not physically available to talk to. This must be another part of growing up. How does the older adults or elders deal with it? Do they just shove it off and keep on going bundling it inside? It’s tough to live life on your own but it’s even tougher to live on your own in God’s hands.
Beth Moore said “Unparalleled joy and victory come from allowing Christ to do "the hard thing” with us.
Prayer: Lord, when making wise decisions, give me the courage to act upon the decisions that I make. Please, renew my spirit of optimism and hope in my heart.
