First of all I am so excited to be apart of this study.
This chapter was so good. This chapter to me gave examples of women who experienced being alone as well as being lonely and I was so encouraged by it because I could relate with my own life of times when I have experienced both at different times and sometimes both at the same time and literally didn't even understand why when I was always surrounded by people, had a good job,wonderful son, friends and family yet still felt a void and felt alone . So I related .
This chapter helped me realize that there is a 1. Being alone and 2. Feeling alone and it is ok because its in those times we have the opportunity to be closer with God and hearing what He has to say to us. We just have to learn to sieze the moments and times.
In my quiet time this morning I concentrated on Ps 42:1 ' As the deer pants for water so pants my soul for you O God'. I want to be like that deer and pant for Him in those alone times
