While In Florida


April 10, 2018:

The following is communication with a sweet young friend about life struggles and the people around us. . . .

Me:

I'm missing you. So sorry I've been so disconnected. I'm now in Florida as my dad is unwell. I'm just seeing the beauty in everything, as everyone around me seems lost in misery. I feel like I've used more words here in three days than I've said in a whole month back home. I pray over you daily. I hope all is well. Better. Survivable… I love you.

My young Friend:

I love you, momma Donna. I was just at your house moving some furniture. Missed you.  I am sorry to hear that many are choosing to live in anguish around your dad’s poor health, but am glad to hear you are moving through this time with eyes clear to the true beauty of it all. I pray you would continue to find peace and particularly get enough rest. Thank you for your prayers; they are everything to me. All is well with my soul, though my “world” is crashing around. No need to feel bad about not constantly connecting. We’re both moving through the same ebbs and flows of life, each in our own way. What I am finding is that when connecting with someone doesn’t feel natural or intuitively driven, it’s not the right time for the other person, too. I wouldn’t have had much time to talk/write these past weeks myself. My beliefs and self have changed so profoundly.  I’m in the same boat as you. Everyone around me is in misery over it - and even though I’m at the very center, it’s like the center of a hurricane. I am centered on God and have deep peace and joy. The only thing that cries out in anguish is the false part of me that is really just stuck in idolatry and attachment to things, states of being, etc. The true eternal part of me (which I am growing in awareness of daily) is in complete peace and actually sees God’s hand in all of this. I am blessed eternally. I love you and cannot thank you enough for having been a beautiful light through the darkest parts of my storm. I am reaching the break of a new day and even though there is a lot of pain, am coming out in one “Peace”.  Much love to you.
