I have been struggling with a lack of Christian fellowship for many months. I had only one human person to talk with about my faith, but he is very far away and communication isn't always that easy long distance.
Prayer and communication with God helped, of course, but I felt very isolated. It was hurting me that I had no prospective friendships at church. God, as always, has me in mind.
A long time friend of mine returned to Christianity not long before I did. She is experiencing a similar struggle within her own church family. God has blessed us both and boy do we have a lot to talk about now!
I may not have as many friends to talk to about God as I do about the latest gossip, but that is a-ok by me! I am so grateful for the person(s) that God has brought into (or back into) my life so that we might rejoice in His glory, share our struggles, and glow in His love together. And now, our conversations are so much more REAL than they ever were before. In one evening we managed to talk for 3 hours before we realized that we'd never gotten around to talking about the camping trip we were planning (the purpose of the visit) and at no point was there that lull in conversation when someone doesn't know what to talk about next!
Praise God! I LOVE YOU JEN!
