I recently contacted a friend from years past through Facebook. This friend had been supportive during a challenging time of my life and I wanted to says thanks again and, in honesty, I probably wanted some further support. Life is messy and sometimes old challenges reappear and we try to figure out what worked last time.
The friend replied immediately-this social media stuff can be such fun-and was as supportive as I had hoped. In fact he said he was glad I had "reached out." Isn't that an interesting term? I hadn't really thought of it in that way, but the term really fit. I had "reached"-gone beyond what was easy and in front of me...found something beyond my easy grasp. His support eased some of my concerns and gave me another perspective to consider. Just what I had hoped.
To whom do you "reach out" when there are challenges? Do you have a support system?
Do you "reach out" to God? What would that look like? "HELP!"--is a good place to start.
Blessings-Penny
