I DO THIS WHEN I FEEL LONELY - CHRISTIAN SINGLES

I received quite a lot of feedback from Ten things to do when you are single and feel lonely, so if you feel lonely, you are not alone, and if you have not read that blog post, please follow the link to read it. I believe you would find it helpful.

I decided to speak with some of my friends, and I started out by asking them if they ever get lonely, LOL, and their rather strong affirmative responses, assured me that I am quite okay. and it's only human to feel lonely. Always remember though, YOU ARE NOT A LONELY PERSON, you simply FEEL LONELY IN THAT MOMENT. 

With their permission, I have replicated some of their responses here, Enjoy!



ELLA

HMMN, I scroll on Instagram, watch movies on Netflix, or YouTube anything to get my mind off. However, on some occasions, I just go back to what God had told me concerning my marital destiny. I have them written so I read through it and it gives me the sense that I would someday be found and it lowkey allows the presence of God to rub on me. Another thing I occasionally do is pray for the mystery person, which again makes me spend time with God.

Ok so for the longest time, I probably keep to myself and I'm very much at peace with that. Most times I just find myself praying in the Holy Ghost (must be a blessing to have that).

I also have some friends I'm really cool with and can discuss somethings as such with them with no strings attached.


BLESSING

So, I've learnt over time to distract myself.

I'll either call good friends to catch up and just gist, or watch a movie, or read, or find a family member to gist with. Sometimes I go out too. When it gets super lonely, I pray o. I'm like 'God please help your girl' … so I don't do something I'm not supposed to do.

I usually feel better after any of these sha.



THE HIGHLIGHT

  1. Distract yourself
  2. Talk to God about how you are feeling
  3. Lean to friends and family
… and I'd add, take a long soothing evening walk. Remember to stay safe. For more detailed tips, read this.

TO THE STRUGGLING CHRISTIAN

2 minutes read Do you journal? I journal a lot. I've always had diaries since I was a child. When it became less effective to have them in hard copy form, I started to journal on my laptop, and now I journal on the Notes app on my phone. I'm new to blogging, but definitely not new to putting my thoughts into writing. Journaling for me is therapeutic. I put down whatever is going on in my life, the exact way I feel, what I'd like to do about it, and what I eventually do about it. Last year though, I saw God do something through my journaling habit. He showed me growth and how He's working on me.  I look at some of the things I wrote down, the way I felt about myself, prayers said to God, and I realized that He heard and answered them all. 21st September 2018 I'm learning that my imperfections are beautiful I'm learning to love me   I have been learning this a long time, maybe it will take a lifetime to unlearn all I learned wrong, but I won't stop lea

UNRAVELING THE ONE- A CHAT WITH DR. FEMI OSUNLUSI

Image
5 minutes read I listened to this VN just this morning, and thought you had to listen too. The initial plan was to type out a few of the things Dr. Femi shared with me, so that you can read, but listening to this, I'm fairly certain I cannot capture a lot of what he said adequately, so with permission, I'd send the audio file on the platform. This however is for those who are not able to listen for one reason or the other. Host: What is your idea of the one? Dr. Femi : My idea of the one is not really an idea, it’s a person. She is a person. The one for me is the woman I'm married to. She makes everything make sense, and this isn't just guy rhymes. She's the one I feel extremely comfortable with, extremely vulnerable with, and extremely compatible with. It would be cliché to say she doesn’t complete me because I'm complete in myself, but the truth is, she completes me, I complete her, and we complete each other. Host : Is there a match made in heaven or do I cho
