I met someone today , just a few moments ago. Someone who made me feel normal.With all these thoughst of mine that race each other and compete for prominence.This happens to other people. The enviornment that I am currently in has me devastatingly uncomfortable. I've crawled into myself feeling as if self absorbtion/preservation is teh only safety I have. But teh limitless power of God is a truth that I fail to recognize when I feel distress. Since I only see ME, myself, in the mirror, I take on teh battle. I get armored up and ready to defend, but I am , in many ways defenseless.
So this , person that I was talking to , shared these sane ideas. And were guilty of teh same hopes, and downfalls as I .And today , that was all I needed to continue. To press thru another day of discontentment. He gave me new thoughts. What I cant change is where I am .But what I can change is what I do while I am there. Somehow, I havent thought of this. Or if I did, the other thoughts beat this one .
I am greatful for that 45 minutes of raw , sincere, honesty and compassion with a stranger. Sitting in the cold, with warm hearts and good intent. I want to live a life like this.It's well worth the struggle to do so.
