I was ready to entitle this blog post something along the lines of "Feeling Lonely" when suddenly the song changed on my computer to "How Can I Be Lonely?" and I thought, that's right...How can I be lonely when I've got Jesus?
How Can I Be Lonely?
One is walking with me over life's uneven way,
Constantly supporting me each moment of the day;
How can I be lonely when such fellowship is mine,
With my blessed Lord divine!
How can I be lonely when I've Jesus only
To be my companion and unfailing guide:
Why should I be weary, or my path seem dreary,
When He's walking by my side?
In the hour of sad bereavement or of bitter loss
I can find support and consolation at the cross;
Want or woe or suff'ring all seems glorified when He
Daily walks and talks with me.
Tonight I became a wee bit homesick for the first time since the first week of school, probably attributable to the absence of my roommate who is on business in California for the week. It doesn't seem like we spend a great amount of time talking to each other, but the time we do spend at the supper table and sometimes in the evenings makes a huge difference. It's funny how it takes the absence of something (or someone) for us to fully appreciate what we had!
I am trying to keep myself occupied. I cleaned my room and bathroom today (the real stuff: vacuum, dust, and all), accidentally took a three hour nap (truly the length was unintentional), and baked a pan of brownies (chocolate is cheerful!). Oh, right...I did some homework too. :) And now the time has come to retire to my bed for the night!
I hope everyone has a good week! Let us remember to give God the thanks and glory in every thing!
"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (I Thess. 5:16-18)
