Friendships that hold you up1 min

If you have been following my posts since after February of this year, you’d know that the year has been the ghetto.

As much as I’ve tried to hold on and make it through it all as the power to move forward lies primarily with me, I’ve had to rely A LOT on my friends.

I wrote earlier in the year about building great friendships and being grateful for having great friends. Little did I know that I would need them intensely in this phase of my life.

So, this post is dedicated to my friends who have held me up in these times.

I initially wanted to list out everyone and the role they played. But that’d make for a long list. I also later decided that it’s probably more personal and I could share with them individually.

In some cases, they didn’t even know that they were holding me up because it was in very little things. Like reassurance, or reminding me of God’s love or just affirming me. I’m really really thankful for them.

As someone said, doing life alone is suicidal. I’m thankful that I haven’t been alone. I have relied on the strength of my friends and they kept me above the waters in their ways.

The ultimate friend of this year was/is God. He is the ultimate help of all time. I forgot that I had him. Or maybe I never knew I had him in the first place.

In the past weeks, I’ve come into a new understanding of him and it really could have only been possible because of his grace. It’s been incredible.

I thought nothing good could come of this year but I was wrong. And I am grateful that I was. He has turned this year around in a way I could have never imagined.

In most ways this is a confession of faith as everything doesn’t look perfect yet. But I know that EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, even though it may not look it. I am thankful.

So no grand post or insights for today. Just me being grateful,

Sisikunmi.
