I ended up posting my last blog onto my Facebook page. And I was pretty blown away by the responses I got. I got quite a few personal messages. I got one email to my personal email. I got a few responses here on my blog. And I got 3 txt's. And I got lots of comments on my Facebook page. All of this to say.... I am NOT alone in these feelings.
I really thought and felt like I was though. So this really got me thinking in the "Kingdom" perspective. Satan's goal is to "Steal, Kill, and Destroy!". I also believe that he wants to make us feel isolated. Like whatever we are feeling we are all alone in how we are feeling. But as I can see with my last post about friendships.... that would be far from the truth!
I truly believe that I am a warrior for God!! And so after seeing these lies told to so many woman (and men too) I am pretty fired up about it!! If anything it makes me realize that YES I do love it when people reach out to me. It also reminds me that I am loved and that I am cared for.
I think God has given me a PASSION for people. And LOVE for people. I love to love on my family and friends. And I have always felt it was a gift for the most part to be able to connect over and over again with people. I think this last week or two I just have felt a little exhausted from it and I think that is ok.
I do think that it is important for me to not give up on people. And I doubt even in the times when I feel like I could that I actually would. ( I hope that made sense??)
I am so thankful to all the people who have reached out in the last 24 hours.
- A: To let me know that I am loved
- B: To know that I am not alone.
I do think I want to find a way to deepen my friendships because I love and crave that depth. But I am going to work harder in the moments when I feel alone and isolated to remind myself of the truths (Jeremiah 29:11 And John 10:10). And to also remind myself that it is just a season.
I hope and pray for anyone who read this and felt like they could relate that they can find that deep relationship with someone. And I TRULY TRULY believe that if you can't find it here on earth that you can find it with My Savior, My Redeemer, My Healer, Jesus!!

Such a great post Amy. Your last one definitely got me thinking and this is pretty much the same conclusion I have come to. Satan really does want to make us feel alone even though we never are.
Thanks Amber. I was pretty shocked when I realized so many peeps feel the same way. It also made me so sad! So I am hoping that I can continue to just be me and love on everyone around me. Even if I don't always feel the love back=)
