alone. not alone?
I’ve been alone all day. It’s been good, different- really. Refreshing to be alone with just my thoughts, to take a nap in the middle of the day, to go to the grocery store in spend as much time as I’d like there. To meander through Target on my own clock. To play with my new twitter background.
Being engaged is an odd time, though I think it helps me deal with some real issues that I’m faced with. I’ve been single for quite some time -(single here means not married) and I loved it! I am so thankful for the time I got to go overseas (many-a time), I got to enjoy single life making new friends, moving to a place of which I wasn’t familiar (several times). And now, another unknown -marriage! We’re reading up in a marriage book that helps us walk through different topics like Money, Conflict, Sex (yes, even that), and Family. It does help, but I realize that I won’t know what it’s like till I get there.
If you’re single don’t mope, be glad you have this time, but also know that when he or she does come along it might send a shock through your system. It has been a big adjustment for me to learn how to live with someone else alongside of me (and he lives 2 hours away). I’ve got to get used to having someone else around – and learning to put him first! It’s not the easiest thing because it reveals my selfishness through it all.
I’m enjoying it too, though. It’s nice to have Jeremy around. His opinion is so helpful often. His ways are so gentle. He is caring and loves me in a different way than I’ve ever been loved before.
Being alone though, is a state of mind. There are many people who are married now who feel alone, for one reason or another, may that never be Jeremy and I. I pray that God unifies us and bonds us together in love, so that the space between is measured in love.
You can’t hope in marriage to satisfy you, cause it won’t. Just like a new shirt won’t. Even a new tv, it won’t.
Let’s put our hope, our trust, our everything in the Lord.
We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. Psalm 33:20

kellyyyyy… i have to agree with everything you wrote (except the jeremy being nice part, since i don’t know him, but if i put my beloved’s name in there, it fits)! you put things into words so well, i think you should write a book and then i’ll buy it and read it over and over
)))
shame on me 
oh, and also the thing about being with someone yet acting like you’re still single – i know what you mean, and i still have to work on that
