Lonely!
I think the word Lonely is an understatement for how I feel right now. I feel like my little family is ALL alone in the whole state of Connecticut, and it is making me second guess everything that once seemed so clear! I thought I heard God say "Go!" and it was completely confirmed to me when Eric heard that same word! So why now, only 7 months into this endeavor that we both felt Christ leading us on, am I feeling so alone? I miss everyone. I said the other day that I was even missing people that I rarely hung out with. I want somewhere to go when things get too overwhelming at the house! I want to be able to call someone up and see if they wanna go to the store with me. I want to go barge in at my mom and dad's house whenever I darn well please.. and stay as long as I like (even if NO ONE is home!) I want to be able to cry to my daddy when things get to tough and I just want PEOPLE! I don't know if I'm cut out for this! It might just be TOOO hard! Am I allowed to fail? I just want to go HOME! My heart hurts so bad!
Lord, I don't know why I feel the way I do! I don't know if we made a HUGE mistake by us packing up our entire family and moving away from everyone and everything we've ever known. I don't know if I will be able to "make it" here. It was never my intention to come and stay for a year and leave, but I just don't know if I can make it much longer. So reveal to me a little bit of the plan here. Whether the truth is that we just did our own thing while thinking we were fallowing hard after you, or whether this is just a HUGE attack from satan to try to deter us from the plans that you have laid out for our lives. I don't want to give up just because the going is getting tough, but I don't want to keep going just because I am scared of what people might think about us FAILING! Father you are SO much bigger then this, and you can work things out for YOUR glory... so I am begging you, please give me something here!!
Your hurting and lost daughter ~Hi-D~
I just want to be clear that this is actually a post that I wrote a few months back, but I did NOT feel peace about publishing it for all to see at the time. Since then my feelings have very much changed, but even still, I feel like God is telling me "now!" so I will be obedient no matter how hard it is to admit to having such feelings in the first place. I have since felt complete and total peace about where God has placed me, and I am grateful to have pushed through some of the trials with Christs help. I know that my journey is far from over, but if my God is for me, then who can be against me?? I will continue to walk by faith and not by sight!!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight.

One thing I have learned about uprooting and moving is that it takes a couple years to put down roots. When we moved to NH in 2005 I thought it was going to be great living by family in my hometown etc. But guess what? It was hard for awhile.. So I think it doesn't matter where you move it will take adjusting. Now that we live in WA again I told myself to give me time and it has been a bit easier. I haven't had to much of the loneliness, except now after losing my uncles.. Praying for continued peace for you!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Amanda. This is the first time we have uprooted our family, and I must say that things get better with time. I still have my lonely moments, but I no longer feel consumed by them. Thank you for your encouragement.
