5 Minute Friday - Lonely


Joining Lisa Jo and the girls for 5 Minute Friday...no edits, no re-writes and love those that came before you..

Topic: LONELY

Luke 12:6-7 (VOICE)
 7 Since you are so much more precious to God than a thousand flocks of sparrows, and since God knows you in every detail—down to the number of hairs on your head at this momentyou can be secure and unafraid of any person, and you have nothing to fear from God either.

Go...

Lonely....it describes this ache in my heart.  I did what you asked of me Lord, now what?  Is this what's left? And it scares me to be honest.  Because this has truly been the loneliest season of my life.  And it hurts to say that because He has given me so very much.  But it's lonely to wake up alone when there were two before.  To go day in and day out not knowing...can you be loved again, will He allow it? The waiting grows into months and I begin to wonder, will I ever be enough...am I the only girl that just can't make it work out...all the raw and painful emotions of it seem to surface so much of the time.  I can look at it for what it is.  I know that He sometimes removes things for our own protection.  I know I am not alone and I believe the one Who made my heart will heal it completely and then as with everything else I have had to do in all of this, He will whisper to me....begin again....Thankful.

Stop.

  2. Hello, I am here from FMF.

    I am so sorry for you current season of loss. It does throw anyone into a cycle of wondering what God has planned, and if you would be ready for that. You most certainly are not alone, that's for sure. He will give you strength, but it also takes time. I pray that you will be moving from strength to strength.

    So good to meet you today!

  4. as i read your post, the words to a song started playing in my mind: He makes beautiful things,
    He makes beautiful things out of the dust.
    He makes beautiful things,
    He makes beautiful things out of us.

    may you soon sense His renewal as He continues to make something beautiful in your life.

  5. I want to tear through computer screens right now just so I can give you a huge hug and let you know that you're not alone.

    He is there for you, yes. That's how it should be. :)

    But your bloggy sisters? We're here for you, too. Email, tweet anytime, and I mean it. Ok? :)

    Love to you, friend...praying that you will start to see more of the why soon and that you will continue to trust Him while you wait.

    1. Thank you sweet friend :) I know that He is asking me to take this risk, step out, share more and through that He is opening doors and bringing me into such an amazing group of women that are an incredible encouragement. Your words and prayers mean so much to me. Very thankful for you.. Much love :)
