NEVER ALONE

There’s a song by one of my favorite musicians, Jim Brickman, called “Never Alone”. The album version has vocals by Sara Evans and the radio version’s vocals were done by Lady Antebellum. As I was composing an email response to a friend tonight, the song came to mind, and I thought of how truly “never alone” I truly am.

Even when I’m alone, I’m blessed to have a great many friends on whom I could call at a moment’s notice and they would come running to my side. It’s such a different world for me than I’ve ever lived in before, and it’s a good thing.

I find myself stressed, scared and just seeking direction in my life. I find myself asking questions, wanting so much more from life, yet not even knowing how to begin to tap into the things I want in my life. I’m tired. Well, to be honest, I’m exhausted—physically, emotionally, spiritually. And, while often I feel alone, I know that the truth is that I am not. I have a “family” surrounding me. That’s a good feeling. It brings a smile, peace.

Here’s my confession. I feel like I’m just wondering around like a dog chasing his tail most of the time. I get so frustrated by things in my life, different situations, and just feel like the problems will never find solutions and questions will never find their answers. But, somewhere, deep in my heart, I know that I am not alone. I know that I am blessed beyond all measure. What I really need to learn to do is to STOP. BREATHE. RELAX. TRUST. BELIVEVE. I’m not alone in this world, no matter how much it seems like I am.
