At times in my life, I find myself alone.
Sometimes, I feel alone because I moved and it takes time to create
friendships. Sometimes, I feel alone as
I battle my inner struggles of fear, discouragement, and negativity. Sometimes, I feel alone because I separate
myself from the world and stand for what I believe, unwilling to let worldly
influences overtake me. Sometimes, I
feel alone weighed down by the struggles of parenting and of trying to teach
children correct principles.
Then, I look and see the bricks and the mortar which make up my
foundation, and I realize I am not truly ever alone. Instead of withering in grief and despair, I
seek solace, and know I may stumble, but I cannot fall because I have a sure
foundation, solidly built by many hands, and that knowledge carries
me through. I weather the stormy clouds
and seek help upon my knees, in the scriptures, through the comforting words of
others, through recalling my past experiences, and through seeking perspective. And I come to understand--I am not alone for
I have a strong foundation built brick upon brick.
