Processes

Last year at Convention there were many moments of loneliness; the year before, too. I simply didn't know what to do with myself when no one was near me - in fact, I don't think I knew what to do when people were around me, either. Many good memories during those years, but also moments of distinct loneliness.

But not this year. This past year I grew into the process of finding myself, of finding peace in being alone and in the confidence of my personality and my relationships. So, confidence. Assurance. Peace. All good traits that helped me this year to grow closer than ever to people, traits that helped me focus on the things I needed to focus on when I needed to. A little bit of rest in the middle of hectic activity.

And even in my insecurities, I find things to be secure in (not because of any of my talents, although there are some things that I know are in my hand, but because of the people God's blessed my life with. Their steady love and support keep the edges of my mind happy, even as my heart goes through expansions).
