In America I've had one active biological family member.Which as a young child made me complacent with having any company.I was in a vulnerable state where any friendship was fine even if it wasn't edifying.Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33 NIV).We begin to rectify the actions of our unhealthy friendships what seems okay is actually unjustified.
.Surrounding myself around the wrong people was blinding the direction I should have being going in which was pursuing righteousness..Anxious to just have people around me so I wouldn't feel lonely.The reality is no matter how increasingly great the number of acquaintances around me grew I still felt alone.Desperation to cover up the emptiness of not experiencing a sense of family would cause me to cling on to the wrong people.Moving from city to city,church to church,school to school the instability of not staying in one place caused confusion in understanding who I was in personality and character.Morphing myself in any setting to assure my acceptance.My pastor has a saying that when you find your people you find your purpose.
Finally it all clicked when I gathered around those chasing after the same purpose my mindset expanded that elevated the faith I had on the inside that was ready to burst out.After years I've searching I have found a spiritual family that has called me up to leadership,prayed over me during difficult moments,challenged my faith,uplifted me,and have celebrated all my victories with me.
