Dear Woman of God,
Have you ever felt alone or lonely...even-though you were in a room with other people, or even enjoying a round of laughs with your friends and family...well it is possible to be in two places at the same time.
I call those times in my own life, places of displacement and disconnection. Even in those times of emotional displacement and disconnect there is still a lesson we can learn about ourselves. All down times are not necessarily negative. They can become an essential part of learning who we are and why we are feeling lonely.
One of the things I have learned is that each of us can view our lives as a story being read. One of the skills essential to any story after reading it is comprehension of what one has read. In other words, the who, what, where, when and how, or why of what is going on in my story.
Can you analyze the who, what, where, when and how or why in your story you are feeling disconnected from family and friends and from yourself? If you are successful in retelling the story, then you are on your way to utilizing those times as a way to help you grow rather than to stunt your growth.
God's Best,
Sylvia Joyner
