It's funny how I am surrounded by lots of friends and family, and yet I struggle with loneliness. I guess this is when I really need to lean on Christ and allow Him to fill the void that was created in my life. Perhaps it was especially hard the past few days because almost exactly three years ago I thought I had said good-bye to going through life alone...this week was challenging, to say the least.
I guess I should be reminded that my focus should be on the eternal and know that no one here on this earth can bring me the real joy that we have in Jesus Christ. Yes, of course I would like to be married and starting a family soon, but I also have to be able to let go of my own desires to allow God's will to take 1st place. I know that He will provide and that will come in His perfect timing. 'Til then, I will seek His face in the lonely times and rest in His presence.

I was talking to my friend about this just recently - surrounded by friends and yet feeling alone. I think sometimes when we have an experience that few around us do - it's isolating. My God carry you in a tangible way.
How's your mission trip support raising coming?
I love you alot - even if I'm bad at it.
