Alone?

So college life officially begins I guess.  I am not going to lie I am pretty scared.  Scared about how I will do with classes, with finding friends, with spending my free time, with staying focused on God.  There is so much.  Whenever I enter into a new environment with very little familiar, I end up feeling lonely.  Loneliness has always been a part of my life, I never realized how big of a part it was until this past summer when I was talking to someone about not having an accountability partner and then all of a sudden I just realized how often I felt lonely, and I broke down into tears because of it.  The feeling of having no one to go to for all your problems, of not having anyone to pick you up when you fall down, of being down and not seeing a reason to get up, of living life without people who make you want to live it, that is alone.  I have been there with little in common with others.   Now don't get me wrong there are plenty of Christians who have helped me and who I am able to confide in, but there are also just as many who I can't confide in.
      Because of my loneliness, I have always felt a special connection to those who seem to be alone, to those who sit alone at the lunch table, etc.  I look at them and feel as if it's my job to try and make them feel a bit better.  I think that is something we sometimes forget, sometimes when you're alone, one person trying to make you feel a little less alone in this lonely world can make all the difference.  I know it does to me so often.  Other times though we just need to remember that no matter how lonely we feel the LORD is always with us.  Even if we don't feel Him, he is there.  Thank you for comforting the lonely, Father.
