Well, it has been a very long time since I have blogged. I don't know why but lately I haven't been feeling very inspired. Usually I have a purpose when I write, but today, it is out of sheer boredom that I am writing. (Doesn't that make you feel special?)
I have spent about 2 weeks worth of days in my apartment with the same 4 girls over the past month or so. I am weeks ahead in my homework and I have just about run out of things to do. So here I am.
You know, it's strange. You can spend a lot of time with people but still feel really distant from them. That's how I have been feeling this past month. And you know, I think it is my own fault. I have been guarding my heart in response to some recent hurts where relationships are concerned. But instead of making me feel better, it simply makes me feel more lonely.
In this loneliness and restlessness at the lack of things to do I have had to turn to God for comfort. I should be turning to him anyways, but I have had to lean more into his love. That's right, his love. My goodness, God's love for me (and for you) is truly amazing! He loves me day in and day out. I hurt him time and time again by sinning and ignoring him, but he still loves me! He loves me enough to die for me! (John 15:13)
So if you ever are feeling a bit unloved and lonely like I have the past few weeks, please know that you have a God who loves you unconditionally. He's just waiting for you to fall into his loving arms for a giant hug! If you are feeling unloved. Know that you are loved! The thoughts that are telling that you aren't are lies. You are loved, so loved, so so loved. Finally, show love to others. You never know what kind of an impact you may make on their day. It's the little things that make a difference.
Well I know this was short, all over the place and not my usual style. But hey, it's something right? I ask for prayers as I finish up my last semester of college and make decisions about what the future may hold for me. Hopefully, I'll blog more...but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Clearly my blogging habits are not consistent. And the second half of the semester is bound to pick up speed. (If only we would stop having snow days...)
