Tears in a Bottle


Sometimes I go to bed crying, but feel like I've had my share of tears over the years. The thing about singleness and crying in bed at night is that nobody is there to even know you are crying. I remember looking for something under my bed one day and seeing tons of wadded up Kleenex. This has been a rough 10 years. It's lonely feeling that way. Psalm 56:8 says "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." Why?  What is the purpose of that?  I picture a room full of bottles of my tears. I guess it's a reminder that He cares about every tear that falls down my face. When I'm alone at night crying, He is there.  He cares. He hurts with me. Thank you God that with you, I'm never alone.

    Ps 68:6a says He setteth the solitary in families. God will settle you in your own home.

    Be encouraged.

    Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning Psalm 30:5b

    Have faith in the good God whom you serve. I am a young widow with 3 children. I am confident that my Father in heaven will not leave me nor forsake me. In the fullness of time, He will restore.

    Please read Ezekiel 36:11. God will settle you after your old estate - He can restore you to a glorious marriage. It is not over. There are lots of wonderful men out there and God can arrange one for you because He is a matchmaker.

    Please also read Isaiah 9:10 - God can give YOU something better.

    I love you and pray for you. Please be encouraged, please.

    Try and enjoy your time as a single. Learn new things. Enjoy your own company. I feel sad when I read your blog. Please cheer up. Thanks and God bless you.

      Very encouraging scripture, Erica. Thank you! Not all days are hard and depressing. :) Some of these are just raw emotions on the days when it's harder to be positive. Relying on scripture is a must. I read your story. Praying for you, sister!

Will It Ever Be My Turn?

Will it ever be my turn to be held by a man who is mine? Will it ever be my turn to leave my man a love note or send him a loving text? Will it ever be my turn to be laying in bed with a faithful husband while he's spooning me? Will it ever me my turn to be the girl with my guy's arm around me at church? Will it ever be my turn to brag about the amazing guy in my life to my family and friends? Will it ever be my turn to be the passenger in the car of the guy I love and to grab his hand as he drives? Will it ever be my turn to just be able to be in someone's arms and know we don't have to say anything because we just enjoy being close? Will it ever be my turn to have a man think I'm so amazing that he has no desire to look at another woman? Will it ever be my turn to show off a photo of my man to people who haven't seen him yet? Will it ever be my turn to talk about Jesus with a man I love and know that we are exactly on the same page and want the same things spi

Physical Touch

It's not something you really think about unless you're single...nobody really ever touches you.  I think it becomes easy to take physical touch for granted when you have somebody in your life. But when you don't, days go by without anybody even hugging you. Before I got married, I wasn't super big on physical touch. I learned to be more that way in my marriage, but I almost feel like I taught my kids not to be very affectionate because it wasn't my primary love language. My kids are around daily. But we don't hug all that often. I don't like it. Sometimes I don't even think about the lack of physical touch I experience until I go get an innocent massage. Someone touching my arm makes me realize that nobody ever really does. It's another part of being that I don't really enjoy, I guess.
