Hello, are you there?

So on the way to church I was wrestling with God about, now get this, Loneliness….hummm? Surprised? I know I have a full life, filled with love, support, family and friends. But sometimes I wonder if my shoulders a broad enough, I get tired and life can seem so big. I was saying “God Can you hear me?” I actually said out loud, ” I am lonely.” Something I don’t usually say. It’s not for lack of people, or things to fill my life with, it’s from doing it alone. Something single people, well really anyone can tend to feel at one time or another. Not having someone to share the weight or the joys that life offers. Not having your voice heard or fears calmed or the hurray’s when you hit a home run! Loneliness can strike us all at some point in our life. Whether in a crowed room or alone…. loneliness can befriend and accompany us.

I wasn’t even sure I was going to church when I woke up, I didn’t know what Dr. Bob would be speaking on, but I went. And guess what he spoke on…..loneliness. It was just what I need to hear and I think God giggled maybe even howled at my saying “Can’t you hear me? Hello? Is anyone out there???”,  as I tantrum-ed in the car on the way to church. Once again His timing and love for me are greater than I can ever imagine. He’s like a great comedian who’s punch line for my life is always delivered right on cue!

He know my thoughts, my struggles, my strengths and weakness and is always there with the remedy, grace and TLC needed. I am never really alone and he is always quick to remind me of that. His presence is with me even when I feel my shoulders are small and life seems big.

Again, Great is his faithfulness…..I left not feeling so lonely but understood and that was what mattered today. Thanks God for speaking into my life today! You make me giggle too!
