Five Minute Friday} "Lonely"

Have you ever felt lonely in the midst of a crowd?
It is possible to feel lonely when we are not alone,
we tend to shut the world out- while all along we know they are there.

Have you ever felt lonely next to Jesus?
It is possible to feel lonely next to the one who wipes our loneliness away,
when we tend to shut Him out knowing He is there.

We don't have to be lonely- when we cling to Him we gain security and a sense
that is beyond explanation of acceptance.
We must also, reach and accept.

I imagine a child clinging tight to his or her Mother,
not wanting to feel alone, and that sense of love that eases the soul.

I imagine wrapping my arms around my husbands strong right arm
no longer lonely,
 instead... part of something special-
I feel Loved.

As I sit back, take a deep breath, and clutch tightly the word of God against my heart
I no longer feel lonely, instead,
part of something beyond my loneliness-
LOVED!

Five Minute Friday} "Story"

We all have a story, it is a beautiful story that God has already carefully written for us. 
He knows where we will go, 
what we will do, 
the struggles we will face,
 and all the triumphs we will experience.  
He knows our story...
 the parts that will make our hearts flutter,
 those that will turn us into knots,
 and those where He will make himself known.  
Even the parts of our story He knows we will fight, but that is what a story is.  
We fight it, not knowing that He knows the outcome. 
 In each and every story there will be trial, 
and in each and every story there is an ending- 
where He has always been my Hero!!! :)
