I have struggled a lot with loneliness since our move to Illinois almost eight years ago.
It was around that time I married, left Texas with my husband and moved to Illinois and since I have yet to find a girlfriend to do things with. I miss it a great deal, the movies, the pedicures, the hanging out, the go to girl when I need to vent etc. Don't get me wrong I have friends here in Illinois just not the girlfriend, intimate, type I desire. It makes me sad and sometimes mad.
This week as I was praying about it God brought something to mind that I thought was interesting. The fact that I have always longed for the one thing missing in my life and admittedly thought that "if I could just have that it would complete me". When I was single it was a husband, when I was married it was children, and now that I have both husband and children I desire the friendships that God had given me when a husband and children weren't a part of my life. I took two truths away and tucked them inside 1) My relationship with God is what completes me. I think that because there has always been a void of some sort in my life I need to remember HE is the ONE who fills that void whether it be my desire for an intimate friendship, my desire for a husband, my desire for children. 2) My desire for Christ should be just as strong if not more than those desires of my heart.
The best part of it all Christ is my best friend and I am thankful for that.
