Day 67 Lonely but not Alone

Loneliness,
or heartbreak,
or even discouragement...
They can come quickly.
And we need to have a plan.
What's yours?

Jesus is the answer--
the only one that can heal us.
But, there are also practical actions, right?
Yes, there is.
Singles, we need a PLAN.
I find that having at least 1 fun thing planned over a weekend helps.
Today?
I traveled.
To Milwaukee, WI to visit another lonely heart;
a close friend from college who is the last one alone.
Well, the last one of her friends there.
Almost all my close friends are married,
but hers are a step ahead--
BABIES!

Claim?
To listen to her,
& hear her heart.
It brought me joy,
and got me out of me and my life.

Lesson: be there for someone else

  1. Glad you had fun. We singles need the company of others as much as the "happy marrieds" (from Bridget Jones if you've seen it).

  2. Definitely! Doesn't she refer to us as "singletons"? We really do need each other! Btw, thanks for hanging out this weekend--Friday night was fun. :)
