I need a friend to talk to.

Darren,

   Thank you so much for being my friend!  :) I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and insights with me.

I would venture to guess, that you are not lonely because of what you walked away from, but rather, lonely for what you are walking towards.

Yes, I am longing for fullness in my relationship with the Lord beyond what I am now experiencing.

Who here can honestly say that they do not long to share the truths and insights that they have learned and been shown with others.

Of course I would like to share the truths and insights I've learned here but I don't want to spend my time trying to convert anyone, except maybe my husband  :) and I've learned how unfruitful that can be.  ;D
I think that is part of the freedom of coming out from under orthodox teaching, it is understanding God's sovereignty in man's salvation. For so long I believed that I had to convert people to "the truth" or they were lost and going to hell.

All the more so, how wonderful it is to be able to share the same with others who understand and know what it is you are sharing.

There is something so wonderful about like minded fellowship. It is such a blessing! I praise God for this forum!

Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Sadly, words on a computer screen are a poor substitute for a warm smile and an embrace from a good friend.

I am totally content with the fellowship that I have found on this forum even if we haven't personally meet  I feel like I know you all in spirit.

I have many such friends, of which I count you one Paula.

I consider you a good friend too Darren, thanks!

Bless you Bro!  :)

YellowStone:
You are more than welcome Paula, for you too are very much a friend to me. :)

Oh, I know exactly what you mean about knowing each other in spirit. This is truly amazing because in speaking over the phone with various brothers and sister, the feeling is like talking to "old" friends. :)

How wonderful it will be to meet everyone one day in person. Sometimes sooner would be better than later.....:)

Love to you in Christ,
Darren
