Loneliness

 

Owning just one guinea pig is illegal in Switzerland, because these herd animals are prone to loneliness.

 

 

Loneliness may reduce life expectancy as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. A recent meta analysis of 70 studies revealed that even people who live alone and think of themselves as happy have a higher mortality risk than those living with other people. 

 

Loneliness isn’t just being in a room or cubicle all day by yourself. Or stuck at home… You can be lonely working at an office of hundreds…

    You can be lonely in a big family

You can be lonely in a big church

You can be lonely married

 

As men breaking the cycle of loneliness is simply choosing not to go it alone, being vulnerable, open and honest that FIRST you need a friend or friends and SECONDLY letting them be a part of your life. 

 

 

Proverbs 16:24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

 

 

Healing - health, deliverance, 

 

Gracious words heal life wounds… do you have anyone who helps heal you?

 

 

On FB we get a lot of haters…  I go and check out their facebook pages just out of curiosity. 

Typically it is evident that they worship masculinity.

Tough, rugged, outspoken, need no one, brash…

AND MY GUT TELLS ME  THEY ARE HURTING AND UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THEIR LIFE! 

 

I hope it doesn’t surprise anyone out there listening that I need men who speak into my life. I have hard days, hard weeks, hard months and yes hard years.

*Im not sure how I would have made it these past 10 years without Godly men in my life.

Cancer, cancer, failed church plant, brain tumor, bankruptcy, betrayal and MORE!

 

 

But I have a secret weapon…

Scott Askew, Tyrone peterson, Phil Okongo Gwoke, Elijah Carlson, Danny Dodge and my father just to name a few.

HOW DID THEY KNOW TO SPEAK LIFE AND HEALING INTO MY LIFE? 

I WAS VULNERABLE… HONEST, OPEN AND TRANSPARENT

 

Do YOU have a secret weapon? Who are they?
