Sometimes this life is very lonely.  Knowing that God is with you helps a lot.  But I think a person would be very mistaken if they insisted that if you have "enough God" in your life, you will no longer feel the pains of lonliness or regret or fear.  I haven't yet figured out what my perspective should be on this topic, but I know what it isn't.  I think maybe it's not that God takes away the miserable-ness.  He just helps you be okay with the miserable-ness (correct word here would be misery... i'm aware of that).  I keep squirming though.  I keep looking around, desperate for something to fill the void and distract me from the emptiness I fear is lurking within.  That makes me think I'm not so much okay with the miserable-ness. 

If I could find a song with these words, that would be the song I chose for my "straight out of the most honest pages of your journal" song on the Friends Project cd.  As it happens, I don't know of any song with these words.  They're not very lyrical, ya know?
