Lessons Learned

Hello All!

A Saturday has never looked so good :) It has been an interesting week. In life sometimes a bundle of small things will add up and take a toll. One word that seemed to come up this week was loneliness. In everyone's life at one point or another people get lonely. I have noticed that in between different seasons of life this feel can sneak up without warning. By no means do I write about such things in my life to have a pity party but just to share my experiences in hope maybe it can be a help to others. One quote that my husband actually shared in his Wednesday night class at church was "The path to the joy of Gods presence always leads us through joyless isolation, when the part of us that longs for connection is left painfully alone." If there is one thing I have taken from this week, it is wrapped up in this quote. In times of loneliness and need for connection we need to turn to God and let Him satisfy every longing and hurt we might have. God is always on time and brings those in your life right when you need them. I talked to a wise friend and she said you can't control how others act but you can control how you act and how you feel. Even when its difficult, I desire to let God fill every lonely part of me and fill me with His love and mercy that I might be the same to others. Here is a great song I came across in the pondering of this subject that I wanted to share.

My desire is if you ever feel lonely you will turn to God for His fulfillment and joy. Hope you all are having a great weekend!
