God: I got this!

Once again tonight, I'm at home with the cats watching TV and knitting and still really craving some human companionship. For whatever reason, this is really unsettling me. As crazy as it sounds, I've got this fear of being alone like this forever. I understand why people in my situation get desperate and wind up making bad choices in the people they choose to spend time with. I've been there, done that and I don't want to be in that boat again...yet those same feelings are still there.

How I deal with them constructively is the question that needs to be answered. With God on my side, I know that he knows my hopes, dreams, and desires. He sees the big picture and knows exactly what I need. I just have to trust that He's working behind the scenes to ultimately bless me in a way that I could never imagine and that it's simply going to take some time for those plans to unfold. I suspect that He wants to totally blow my mind! I just have to be patient and trust.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."(Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. ... For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:25-34 NIV)

To put it in a nutshell, what God is really trying to say is:

"Trust me! I got this!"
