Thanks for sharing, Angela

Your journal entry is an inspiration. I think a lot of us fear being alone. I know so many girls who would rather be with someone who’s not right for them than to be alone. I know in the past I had a knack for being with someone who wasn’t right. The last person I was with was angry, he drank a lot and he would weigh me down. My head would tell me to get out but son the inside I feared being alone and I would look for one reason to keep him around. If we have to keep asking ourselves, “Is this the right guy?” or “will this work out?” then the answer is most likely no. Marriage, of course is an exception and you would have to try your hardest with God’s help to make it work. What a lot of us don’t realize is that it’s ok to not be with anyone and I think it’s great that you bring that up. Sometimes God has other things in store for us that we can only accomplish as a single person. It’s nice to see you offering encouragement on this and reminding us that things will fall into place on God’s time when we begin to trust. The LORD’s unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.(Psalm 32:10 NIV)

Also, getting stuck is pretty easy to do. Satan works hard in an attempt to separate us, to make us feel alone, to make us feel like the situation is hopeless. He wants us to give up. And you’re right, there is something we CAN do, we have to push forward. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 40:31 “that those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

You may have been “friends” or still are, with people who weigh you down, who are in the wrong crowd but is important to realize that so you can get unstuck. Being with people who aren’t very good for you can lead to a life of pain, sin and regret. But surrounding yourself with others who share a relationship with Jesus, who are positive and who can hold you accountable for things is a blessing. It took me awhile to push through the forest and cut away the weeds of my life but the Lord has filled me with much happiness and joy now.
