Con-nec-tion: a relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else.
What or who are you connected with? Are your connections a positive influence in your life? Are they challenging you to be the best you that you can be? We all are connected with something or someone at some point in our lives. So it is all the more important to make sure those connections have your best interest in mind. It is also great to be a part of something or something that is more than what you can be or do by yourself.
Connections whether big or small allow us to have more ability together than we would have if we were alone. A three strand cord is stronger than one strand.
As we journey through life’s trials and triumphs we should share with the connection of people who are like-minded in our cause or passion. Together you can move mountains! God created us to be dependant upon each other, not in the sense that we replace Him, but sometimes we need that physical connection with others to encourage us through.
When you hear good news or you have accomplished something great, what is the first thing you do? Call one of your friends. We are dependant people and it feels good to have someone to enjoy our accomplishments with. Likewise, when we are going through our toughest hours or some tragedy has occurred, we long for someone to come to hold us and let us know that they are there. Whether they can help the situation or not, we yearn for that physical connection.
My friend, Denise Hall Brown, just finished writing her first book called; 2Grieve 2Gether. It is all about her journey through grief from several tragedies that happened in her life. One of the main points is that we shouldn’t go through this process alone. We need others to come along side of us to just be there. It doesn’t matter where the grief comes from because there are all sorts and levels that occur in our lives daily, but the important thing is to share, connect, be there.
Just knowing that you have someone or a group of people in the world that are there to support you when you need to be uplifted or to be there to cheer you on when you are living your best life, is one of the most important parts about life.
That is why God created The Butterfly Journey ministry. God showed me many women in the world suffering with brokeness, grief, unworthiness; alone. They feel they have no one to turn to not even Him. And that is my mission to reach those women who need someone to come along side of them in their situations, to listen, help, pray with, and encourage them back to wholeness in Christ.
Are you connected? Reach out to your connection, your circle of friends or family that have been there for you during the good and bad times and “thank” them for being your connection to God.
