It's Okay To Be Lonely As Long as You're Free

I can always tell when I'm going to do some personal growth because my spirit gets quiet and reflective; I go on long directionless drives, and listen to a lot of Rich Mullins (whom I consider to be somewhat of soul brother, by the way).

And cry. A lot.

Today I sat on a bench overlooking a lake, did some deep breathing, ate some homemade granola, people watched, and read book about healing. 

It's a process, you know?

A process with ups and downs and twists and turns.  And work.  And bravery. And persistence.
​
Life has a way of providing us with many opportunities to grow. And many of those opportunities happen to be unwanted life circumstances- which is probably why all of my personal growth has been done with a lot of kicking and screaming. 

Except for today.  Today was calm and reflective and brought some Aha Moments that made me smile.

I am thankful for today.

Enjoy those refreshing moments of your healing journey, my friends.- M

This life has shown me how we're mended and how we're torn;
How it's okay to be lonely as long as you're free.
Sometimes my ground was stony; sometimes covered up with thorns, 
But only You could make it what it had to be.
