Hi Carol, 

I hope this forum can be of some help in filling the hole.  It's true, once we start this journey into the truth, things will never be the same.  And yes, for most of us, we will find only rare people in our own circle that will be of like mind.  So it can be lonely in that sense.  But you will find, in time, that the joy of coming into a more intimate knowledge of our Savior makes all of it worth it.  No matter how alone we feel in the world, He is always with us....


I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:20

Peace,
Diana

Hi Carol,

Welcome to the forum!
God will fill that big hole and as you learn and grow, as are we all doing, you won't miss the former things. Press on and look ahead.

Hello Carol,

I find the only dumb question, usually, is the one not asked!

Many here will be of help...so, "COME ON IN AND WELCOME."

In His Love

Hey Carol!  I too am new to the forum (very new) and was really glad to read your post. 

It is very hard when your church support system is gone; I know I didn't think I would miss it as much as I did.  It was incredibly hard on our family.  I find now that new people and support are coming into the picture....slowly by slowly...

I am feeling the same way you are: all I can say is what God has said to me "Be still and know that I am God..."  I don't know if that makes sense to you, but I was (and still am) so worried about what God wants me to do, and why I'm not accomplishing any apparent goal.  I had a lot of fear....but now I know that it's ok to just be me and where I'm at.   

God loves you incredibly; just think of your love for a child or loved one....you would be patient and understanding with them, and want to do just about anything for them.  You would want them to be fulfilled and happy....God loves you even more than that.  That doesn't mean life will be a bed of roses, but when you know God loves you and is patient with you, it gets a bit easier...

I normally wouldn't write something like this, but I really heard your heart in your post.  And I am struggling with the same thoughts. 

I used to wonder why I wasn't doing something "big" for God....now I firmly believe he has called me to the little things in life...like a kind word to someone who may desperately need it, a friendly smile etc.  I believe (because I'm not really sure, I don't "hear" God like some people do)  that God has told me to love the unlovable....which is very personal to me right now....

I also don't feel very knowlegeable....it was a little intimidating at first because I am not big on knowing a lot of scripture, but then that's what e sword etc. are for....people like me! 

I know this post is from may, but I really wanted to encourage you and let you know you are not alone....take care...James

Some days I feel almost at the end of my rope....stretched!
