To Be Known


If I just stay with friends... I'll be OK. I can steer myself away from too much loneliness. As an introvert, I never thought I would want to seek out a crowd (3 people) in order to find context to my life. It isn't that I don't want to work out my problems or get to know myself better. I am all for "sitting in the moment" and "feeling" discomfort. What it is about is listening to people and in return telling my story. It is about being known.
"Being known...." isn't that what I want from a companion in my life? Then why don't I seem to find them? And why does God keep placing books, scripture and quotes in front of me that tell me how much He knows me? Hummmm... maybe that is the point. I am known and I don't even know how much.
