When I'm alone.
I have always been a collector of quotes and expressions. I have always kept a journal of some kind. Writing is a release. I love to write and I love to read about the stories of others. Tonight, I have been reading my Bible and some of my old journals. Have you every felt like you just needed to see …where you have been? ...what you have been through? ...what you have overcome? …how you have changed? …how you made it?
It's been a glass half full vs. a glass half empty kind of night for me. I'm trying very hard to flood my thoughts with positive quotes and scriptures. I'm typing as I am reading. Here it goes…
A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful. ~Jacqueline Bisset
In the final analysis our most common basic link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are ALL mortal. ~John F. Kennedy
Too many of us stay walled up because we are afraid of being hurt. We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all. ~Elenor Roosevelt
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? ~ Vincent Van Gogh
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted are the most terrible poverty. ~Mother Teresa
I like not only to be loved, but to be told I am loved. ~George Elliot
Miracles only happen to those who believe in them. ~French Proverb
There are deep sorrows and killing cares in life, but encouragement and love of friends were given to us to make all difficulties bearable. ~John Oliver Hobbes
The supply of good women far exceeds that of the men who deserve them. ~Robert Graves
She is worth far more than rubies. ~Proverbs 31:10
Jesus replied, "You don't understand now what I am doing, but someday you will." ~John 13:7
You deserve a man after God's own heart, not just a boy that goes to church. Don't settle just because you don't want to be single. Wait on the Lord for the real thing.
Love is not something you go out and look for. Love finds you and when it does, ready or not, it'll be the best thing to ever happen to you.
This is Jodie talking now. :) Some days, many days, I struggle with loneliness. I know it sounds weird, but I can feel alone in a room full of people. Loneliness is difficult for me. I have so many friends and I know I have family who love me beyond measure. Loneliness is a mindset. It's a dip, a valley. I am learning to be alone. It is very difficult for me. When I am alone, I think. My thoughts come in torrents and pound in my brain like the ocean waves on the shore. I have tried to explain this feeling to people before but if you have never felt it yourself, you just cannot understand. I have always believed that "alone" was a negative thought or concept. I am praying for a change in my mindset. It's my prayer that in my alone time, I will seek not to fill a place beside me, but the heart within me.
