I could so relate to what you said, "Last Sunday when I went to church, I could just feel the isolation on me. I had to make myself praise God during praise and worship." I pretty much felt the same this past Sunday. I had to choose to praise the Lord despite my emotions. Tears flowed during the "Praise Event" at our church. I often feel very lonely at our church b/c we can't get involved as we would like due to constraints & schedules. It makes it hard to get to know others and one can easily feel isolated. Thanks for sharing from your heart so honestly and reminding us to give the enemy "the boot."

I deal with people all day long at my job and, by the end of the day, I do look forward to going home and turning things off. I do also pine for some alone time at home since I have three kids and a hubby. He's much more inclined to want to be with me 24/7 and I do relish some time (usually late at night) to watch my own TV shows, read, have a cup of tea without interruption, etc. Don't beat yourself up over it, though. It's not all bad to not want to be social. Being introverted doesn't mean you don't like being around people. It just means you prefer smaller groups of people you know well.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786838392389718536noreply@blogger.com
