Embracing Loneliness.

I am a Calvinist so I believe that God has a plan for my life and that everything happens for a reason.  In short, there is no such thing as coincidence.

I am now living through a new aspect of my life called “loneliness”.  And, while I don’t really enjoy loneliness, it is now a part of my life so I do have to deal with it.  I can run from it and pretend that it doesn’t exist, but I can only do that for awhile.  Then the specter of loneliness will arise and try to consume me and it will if I let it.

But, instead, I will embrace loneliness.  I will spit in its face.  I will dine by myself in restaurants.  I will sit by myself in church and down front for all to see.  I will go to the movies by myself and order popcorn and a soft drink for one.

Yes, I am alone but I am not defeated by loneliness.  With God’s strength and grace, I will survive.
