It's a new year! I am grateful to have made it to see the new year considering all that I have faced in 2010. Although I am thankful and grateful, I am also a little depressed. I feel empty. Part of the reason for this emptiness is the fact that I have brought in another new year alone. It has been almost five years since my last serious relationship. It seems that everyone has someone except me. My brother is happily married and my sister will be getting married next month. They are both younger than me. I am heading towards my mid thirties and it seems as if I'll never meet that special someone and get married. It makes me sad and scared all at the same time. I am lonely. I spend most of my time with my parents because I do not have any friends. I am afraid I will be one of those little old women in the restaurant eating by themselves.
I am starting this blog to express my feelings because I don't have anyone I can talk to. Whenever I tell my parents I am lonely, they say all I need is Jesus. Being a single Christian is not easy. Most people will tell you that all you need is Jesus and that you should learn to be content in your situation. This may be true in most cases, but sometimes you need someone tangible to talk to. I have asked the Lord to help me with my loneliness and emptiness. I am hoping He steps in soon and fix these feelings.
I hope that this is no implication of what this year will be like. I have been looking forward to the new year. I am hopeful about the many blessings that are in store for me this year. I am looking for better health, more wealth, and companionship. What's to come has to be better than what's been.
Well....until next time.....
