Alone however never alone...

So I've really been struggling with feelings of being alone, again. I think that I've allowed the Lord to work this out of me and then it happens again. It's a little hard to explain because its not that I dislike being alone, but at the same time I don't like being alone. I know a bit of circular logic there for you.

When it comes to being alone at home and getting things done or having some alone time. I'm ok with that for a little while, but then I would really rather be somewhere with people. However when it comes to having to go to an event alone, church, wedding, going away party...yeah I can't stand that. I hate feeling alone! I know I'm not alone I have people all around me, and I know God never leaves me or forsakes me, He's always here, and I feel real bad saying however....however why do I feel so alone?

Is it because I want children? Is it because I'm not trusting God? Why, why do I feel this way & why can't I learn this lesson?

It seems that I end up alone a lot, camp = I ended up working in the jobs that only one person had to do, events = brent has to work so I have to go alone and explain where he is :-(  work = the only one of my grade level separated by distance and personality?

I really wonder why, what purpose does it serve? What am I supposed to learn? Lord please help me understand what I need to and just accept what I don't need to understand but I just need to accept.

Thanks for reading & for your prayers if your still reading...God bless

Weddings & Memories

Today Lisa White gets married & I believe she will be the first of several of my friends to take that awesome and wonderful leap.

Reminds me of my wedding day, while I don't remember a lot it was a great day. It's all kinda a blur until I pull out the pictures and then I begin to get a rush of memories. Other than someone telling me after my wedding that my pictures made them realize how much the colors in the church and the decorations needed changed, my wedding was a great experience!

I can't really think of anything I would want to do different, maybe being more specific about how much of the songs should be played & remembering to take my bouquet at the end :-), but other than that I have great memories! And can't wait to get my wedding scrapbook finished, only five years later.

Well I'm off maybe I'll post a little something later after the big shin dig :-)

-thanks for reading, if you made it this far. God Bless!

Beautiful Spring Day

Since I set a goal of at least one photo post per month I had better get started doing that. Better now than never right?

Went for a walk with Brent today and snapped this pic :-) enjoy

When I look at this photo again I see the parallel of the new life we can have when we accept Jesus into our hearts (tree on left side of sidewalk) and the the lack of life we have without Him (right side). Also could represent our lives living for him and bearing fruit and our lives just being, not doing.

Trying out a new blog app...

Well I am pretty sure I haven't made my quota of blog posts...if I remember correctly only one in February and this is my first for March :-/ We shall see, I guess one a month is at least better than last year. And I have been keeping up on my crafting, I'll try to get some pictures of them up here if it'll work.

I've been doing a lot of thinking and praying recently, and the result? Not a lot of really evident things but the Lord is definitely showing me areas in my life I can continue to work on. :-)

Ok....one confession before I go...it really annoys me when people send emails with no subject line, now I'll admit sometimes I have a hard time coming up with an appropriate subject line. But to leave it completely blank is really annoying for me. How am I supposed to sort my emails, or know which one of the ten from you is the one I need. Ok I think I feel better now that that's off my chest...

Thanks for reading if you did and I'll be back hopefully sooner rather than later...
