The First of Many Lessons

Over the past few days since I have arrived here in Roatan I have been struggling with loneliness. I have never had a problem with this until now. The most difficult part of the little time I have spent here is the time where I am alone in my house. I have always liked having people around me but I was also fine being by myself. But I have never been this alone. I am not writing this to make you feel bad for me, I am writing this to tell you all the first thing that I have learned since I have been on this life changing journey. On Monday afternoon I was at my lowest point that I have been since I arrived here. I was on the brink of packing my bags and coming home I called home to talk to my parents, I was crying my eyes out and praying to God for help then I opened my bible and started reading. I turned to John 14:18 which says “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” Then I realized something that had been taught to me since I was a little kid. God is always with me. I had always believed it, but up until this point I guess I have never been so lonely that I have had to completely fall into the arms of God for companionship. Now don’t get me wrong I still get sad and miss home a lot but whenever it get really sad I just lean harder into my God’s Arms because he is always with me and he will never leave me comfortless.



God Bless
