The sense of solitude [noun: the state or situation of being alone] TERRIFIES me! I only put the definition up because I don't think the word does the feeling justice.
To explain myself....which actually I don't even feel as though I need to. Who in their right mind isn't scared of being alone???? What we all (especially me) need to remember is no matter what WE ARE NEVER ALONE, because He is with us ALWAYS!
This thought...or frame of mind [if you will] came to me while I was reading my sister's blog tonight. I don't know if it was exactly what she wrote about that made me think about this, or if it was just the thought that without Jesus, she would be alone. I think what people (myself included) forget about it that, we aren't alone! A sense of worry, anxiousness, fear, betrayal, or defeat can make anyone feel alone. With even a single one of those feelings I am now trying to remind myself that my little sister is in a country....24 hour (give or take) plane ride away from a place where she would feel a part of something (not alone), and she is still stronger than anyone I know (especially myself).
I struggle with feeling alone. I feel alone when I am in the car by myself. I feel alone when I am reading for school. I feel alone when I am folding clothes. I need to be reminded constantly that I AM NOT ALONE! Even though I don't talk to Becca every day, even thinking about her being by herself (physically) thousands of miles away helps to remind me that I am not alone. Because of Becca's security in knowing that Jesus is always with her helps me to know that I am not alone as well.
I am blessed and I am not alone. You are blessed and you are not alone.
