Are You Lonesome Tonight? 10/01/2009

As women with ever-changing lives, loneliness is bound to come knocking on the doors of our hearts. Often it is the changing part of life that brings about that lonesome feeling. Ruth, Mary, and Esther all shared a loneliness before huge events in their lives. I imagine they experienced the same lull in friendships that we all see from time to time. Accepting the gift of salvation, being promoted at work, having children, graduating, getting married, deciding to homeschool, moving to a new town, choosing not to return to work after starting a family; these are all common times of loneliness.

Word Up Wednesday 06/17/2009

2 Comment(s)

Today, I'd like to use Word Up Wednesday to form a circle of prayer around a dear friend's breaking heart, healing body, and overwhelming loss.
Please pray fervently for her over the coming weeks as she heals in so many ways. God is faithful and present!

"Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16, NRSV).

"Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them" (Matthew 18:19-20, NRSV).

Thank you so much for your prayers!
God is at work among us!

Friends. Are. Miracles.
Those times when your best girlfriend just happens to call right when you need it most. The moments you feel utterly alone and remember that you have a girls' night planned in two days. When you've got to get your head on straight and you get that email inviting you to a Bible study.
All wonderful little gifts from God.
Hug a friend today...whether "in real life" or a "fake virtual friend" that loves you to pieces!
Hug 'em and praise God for them!

God is working miracles in our lives. We just need to ask for them, look for them, and live for Him!

How have you seen God at work in the smallest of matters? Or the largest?
