So encouraged and thankful for your experience that weekend, and what you’ve been learning since. The gentle God is so much easier to approach than the cruel one of our imaginations, isn’t he?! Thanks so much for sharing this. Love that will not Let me Go is a hymn/poem that has saved me on so many occasions. Sometimes those words are the only prayers I manage, too. So glad you find it (or it found you!). Will be praying for you as you journey on. :)

Thank you. Made me guffaw (the hamster!) and tear up (the carrot of love, not the whip of judgement). Can so relate. Thank you

I’m so touched by what you’ve written and can completely relate to the difficulty of maintaining quiet times. Life just isn’t quite that neat and formulaic, sometimes, is it? I don’t know why God allows certain things – sometimes I don’t understand Him at all! – but I do know He loves me, and I do know He loves you, and I’m certain He will honour your heart in seeking Him and will meet with you next weekend. Horrible things happen in this life that bring us crashing to the ground, but underneath are the everlasting arms, and I pray you are completely wrapped in them and restored next weekend. I’ll be praying for you, and thanks again for your wonderful honesty. Love.

Thank you for your raw honesty.

Sending buckets of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think this is a big issue and some people are better at grasping that fact that there are multitudes of significant relationships than others. I wonder if Jesus got asked about his disciples at social gatherings? I also think the Church isn’t very good at celebrating single people in a corporate setting – we pray a lot of people getting married, people having babies, children in the church etc. (all of which is right good of course) but pretty much the only way to get prayed for up front if you’re single is to be ill.

I feel quite fortunate as people at often ask about Abby and Hazel and my guinea pigs! They also often ask about you, which I am very thrilled about as you are indeed an extraordinarily significant friend (and I’m leaving you stuff in my will too!)

Lots of love from Witsy, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you SO much for your gentle and wise counsel. I can COMPLETELY relate to this as a single person. There are many dear, close people in my life whom I love hugely, who just happen not to be actual family, and people rarely ask about them! Which, given that my career is in tatters at the moment, leaves us precious little to talk about! I do so wish that people would ask about we are and what matters to us, as opposed to those conventional things that actually matter very little to who we are. Thank you for posting this and encouraging us all to buck the trend!
