Joy #56- Joy in lonliness

#56
Tonight I was very lonely. For no other reason than me just feeling sorry for myself. I was on my hall for quiet hours and my lovely roomie was out with her sister. And I just got selfish. A lot of the girls on the hall were busy and I was just really wishing I could go out and do something fun (preferably with a boyfriend that I don't currently have). It was tough. But you know what? A night in was needed, especially since I know my schedule is going to get really really hectic in a few weeks. And it really taught me that when I am lonely, I really shouldn't be. Because as cliche' as this sounds, I have the Lord. I really do. He is all I need and that alone should make me be content. But as easy as that sounds, it is VERY hard to be content sometimes.
Sigh. But I am working towards it. Sorry, this post didn't end very joyful, did it?

  1. I was thinking about that last night. I have been lonely, too. I don't have a roommate this semester and my friends are all scattered (around school and some graduated). But, I did think, I do have God. But, I think it is ok to be lonely. I feel like I heard one time that Jesus was lonely (I am trying to think of the example but can't, so don't take my word on that).

    Anyway, I love you dearly and miss you greatly!
