I have no family and have been on my own since 6 yrs of age. I have had many people in my lives but when they are not blood relatives the relationship is usually conditional. from what I have seen over the years, even some blood relationship can be that too.
At this time in my life I know that am not alone because I know that Christ is in me, he is changing me slowly. I now see my state as advantagious because I am less uncumbered than most. Each person I meet becomes a mystery, the me part of me is less important and I am beginning to learn and care more about the "other".
It may not matter where you are, here or in Germany..whatever God's will for you ...it will happen. God is going to direct you. The good thing is that where ever you are, the internet makes communication with you easier.

Beloved,
Thank you for your response... This gives me hope knowing that I am not "alone" having been left by significant other people in my life that swore allegiance (I will never leave you nor forsake you), but in the end the "price" was always higher than they were willing to pay. My parents were very young, my mom 16 and my dad 21... they were never married. My mom ended up marrying a guy when she was 19, whose very religious Catholic parents did not approve of me being part of their holy home, so my mom left me at my grandparents, moved to a different city and never looked back until I turned 18... All of a sudden my mother wanted to parade me around...
I left Germany when I was 24, to basically leave all my heartache behind... Unfortunately, the invisible baggage comes right along with you.
The men I was married to enjoyed fooling around with other women, so none of those marriages worked out. I have a tendency to pick men who cannot be faithful or committed to just one partner. I always wondered if I am trying to relieve what my mother and dad had done to me...
These are some of the things that are coming to the surface now and cause some of the heartache I am experiencing. I even find God aloof and distant at times; it's nuts.
Nevertheless, all of this gives one a capacity of great empathy for people and animals alike. I have 2 dogs I have adopted because their owners did not want them anymore; I love them both dearly. I shall post some pictures of my "family" in the next few days. Thanks again for your post :)
Grace & Peace,
Angie

Hi Angie,
I am your age and live alone with my cat. God spent 5 years with me bringing all my childhood trauma to the surface and healed so much of it. I haven't felt lonely since then. It sounds like we have a lot in common. I can't say that I'm happy, but I am content now being alone. My life and beliefs changed so much that I left my old friends behind and haven't had much luck making new friends. I'm not ready to hang out at the senior center. :)
You're not alone with what you are going through.
Hugs,
MG

Sometimes the details differ, but I can relate to feeling lost and undecided about things. Family & Friends are a blessing, but at times can be a distraction and just as difficult as being alone. It seems God causes us always to find ourselves in need of him. You can have many around you, and still feel alone. These are those moments when the creature cries out & longs for "That Day". The world is losing it's pull and charm. We want to sit upon our Fathers lap and rest our head on the bosom of Jesus.
In Him You Will Find Comfort,
Praying for you,
Brenda

I just wanted to thank everyone who is praying for me... There is this "calm and peace" I am experiencing now...
MG, It's good to know that we seem to be in the same "boat"... I tried the Senior Center, but either I am in severe denial or still have too much spunk to feel comfortable there. Ask me again 5 years from now :)
Thanks again for your prayers.
Grace & Peace,
Angie
Beloved:
I see you are in Washington, state. have you said hello to the new members in Seattle. They have a delicious looking avatar. Perhaps you can study together some time... you never know they may have friends to introduce you to..

I have friends, mostly couples that I hang out with. I really enjoy having a few people to study with in person, though the internet makes it easy to get to know someone.
You girls are too young for senior citizen stuff.......
