Lonliness Revised
In the trend of gratefulness. I’ve been thinking about my friends lately.
I’ve started working overnights for this week and doing so kind of prevents me from much human interaction. I worked 10 pm to 6 am Sunday-Monday morning. Can’t text people because they’re asleep, wondering what people are up to during the normal hours of the day. I feel like a creature of the night and it’s only been one day/night/thing. In any event, It makes me grateful that I normally get to work during the morning.
Also thinking about it from another perspective, working overnights temporarily is a great thing. It gets me to hang out with God more. Since I don’t have friends to go and bug for attention. I’ve got God, which is what I need. So it’s a good opportunity for relationship building with God. Working alone in the back room hefting furniture around lets me trust God every time my clumsy self gets on a ladder, to ask for strength to move something or hold something in place while I get a SKU Number for it (I’m not a very physically strong person if you haven’t guessed). This gives me an opportunity to pray for the people who need it and there seems to be quite a few people who need it lately. To release my worries to God. Which is nice. Because I’m worried for a few people.
Kinda crazy how a different perspective on something you thought to be lonely and kinda crappy can lead to something so much more.
