Alone too much

I love scrapbooking. Ive tried knitting before. There is a paper crafts studio that holds classes. I just didn't go cause the class got snowed out last time when I attended.

I only know this because my wife has made so many great friends through various craft classes. Quilting has become her passion and she has made friends all over the country- it's become quite the network. She loves it so much that first I built her a quilt room-- which became a quilt palace and now as of three weeks ago-- she and a partner have bought their own quilt shop! --but all this applies to any sort of crafting.

The best way to get a friend is to be a friend. Find someone else who is lonely and make yourself a friend to them.... you become the solution for them while they make your own loneliness disappear! My wife's classes are full of gals (and sometimes guys) who simply share an interest and a need for interaction with others. They bond and become friends over time from the act of togetherness.

I hope you find a niche.

I may not ever have a bunch of people busting down my door to hang out with me.

But I can pursue the Lord with my whole heart every day.

Beware of nastalgia . It will suck the life out of a lamb .
Ps , how many folks do you think knock on my door desiring to hang out . Its a real easy number sister .
Truth is it aint a number at all but rather a place holder . Ponder on that dear sister .
Soon enough their will be knocks on our doors , BUT they wont be desiring fellowship
Ponder on that as well . How many folks do you think knocked on lotts door for fellowship
AND I KNOW for a FACT that folks did not knock on the door of the ark as NOAH was preparing it.
From one day to another we have NO IDEA what lies in store . TRUTH is you could get a knock today
from a christain who was led to knock upon your door , OR you might get a knock
and open your door to find a bag on fire and my advice is DONT stamp it out cause it might be full of dung .
AKA folks are gonna hate us too . BUT we always pray for those who do hate us
and we live KNOWING that we know not what lies ahead for us on this earth . WE DO KNOW what lies ahead in CHRIST
PARADISE FOREVER WITH THE KING WHO SAVED US .
BUT , DO BEWARE OF NOSTALGIA . IT WILL SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF YOU dear sister .
DONT look back , LOOK FORWARD TO CHRIST .

There is a reason we are not to forsake the gathering. We are embers tossed out of the fire. You and I both spend a huge amount of time alone. It is not healthy and sister, I pray for you also for our Father to send Christian friends to gather with, iron sharpens iron and just think of the things to look forward to, bible studies, lunch's, the conversations about The Lord! Would be so nice to have that and GROW in Him together.
Many need practical help as well so, even little things can lighten a brother or sisters load.
Great usage of scripture for that prayer sister!

THERE is a reason why we dont forsake that , there is also a reason we do forsake that .
Ponder on that my dear sister . Lambs dont forsake lambs that preach truth , BUT lambs also dont gather
with or under those who preach falsehoods .

This is where true discernment comes into play. The Spirit of God, if He be in us, WILL give us red flags...if we KNOW The Word of God, we will know we are not being fooled. Not to mention being Bereans. Not every single church is false brother and it sure beats being a lone ranger Christian...we NEED one another for a reason. If we have discernment we will know to forsake it as it is not truth but we are STILL TOLD to NOT forsake the gathering of the brethren.
A TRUE Christian will recognize the truth from error immediately (IMHO). Seems you would rather one be a house bound, lone ranger Christian with no Christian friends...not my bag, I NEED my brothers and sisters, as we all do.

Not every church is false . Very true dear sister .
If my desire were for folks to be alone then why would i even bother doing prayers and bible reads with anyone .
My desire is not that folks be alone . But rather true lambs gather with true lambs .
And that our fellowship and unity be UNDER CHRIST and not under men who have decided to bend the knee to the ever changing world .
Its not a sin to desire fellowship or i myself would be in SIN . BUT it becometh sin
when we overlook errors for sake of fellowship . WHEN we overlook sound doctrine in leaders for sake of fellowship . THEN it becometh sin .
I know many people who constantly pray to GOD for fellowship and yet when it arrives they find fault .
But when i say fault i dont mean faulty because sound doctrine was not being preached but rather
cause its not their cup of tea after all . Folks often can overlook the answer to prayer
GOD IS GATHERING lambs and when i say lambs , I mean lambs who simply desire the truth .
My advice is quite simple . IF men , IF EVEN I myself stood up
and tried to justify WHY i teach contrary to the original pattern , THEN FOLKS better correct me and if i wont heed
YOU GOTTA FLEE ME . SO how come folks sit and gather under men who try and twist things like the love of money .
OR why do folks sit under men who try and make excuse for why Women can now lead the church .
OR why do people sit under leaders who try and make excuse for why we can SUE FOLKS and take them to court
OR why do we sit under folks , leaders , who through carnal intellect try and reason why THEY DO as they DO
and not rather DO as JESUS said to do and the true apostel said to do . I KEEP IT REAL SIMPLE .
I dont try and pretend like i know better than the apostels . I dont try and pretend what they taught was for another day and time .
I simply say If they taught TO DO THEN DO and if they said not to do , WELL DONT DO .
I KNOW i sure dont sound wise and all knowing like these scholars and popular men of today do , BUT
when DID JESUS say YOU must become WISE to the truth of the age , Wise to the wisdom of this world and its ever changing times
HE simply said LEST ye become as CHILDREN ye shall in no way enter into the KINGDOM .
I , by grace , KNOW the apostels TAUGHT TRUTH and HAD THE SPIRIT . I HONESTLY BELIEVE like a babe
IF its in the letters from the apostels THEN BELIEVE IT and DONT TRY and make excuse to go around it .
The bible is so easy to read and understand , IT pretty much means WHAT IT says .
Its not like paul , peter , james , jude or john were writing in some kind of hidden code
that only wise scholars who know much greek can grasp . MEN DIED so we could get the bible .
ITS not like wycliff , tyndale and others GAVE US A BAD COPY of the scriputers . ITS IN ENGLISH
THEY KNEW CHRIST and were willling to die for HIM and for the peoples . TODAYS SCHOLARS , YEAH RIGHT
they would not be SO WILLING TO DIE for the peoples . AND todays agenda dont serve CHRIST
it serves ROME and the one world agenda . TOO many folks are being lulled to sleep under
what to them MUST sound like ever wise men but to me , I hear the same sound charlie brown did
when the teacher would speak over the air ways , blah blah and blah . THEY TWISTIN THE SCRIPS SISTER .
THEY are twisting the scrips to justify WHY THEY DO as they do . WHY THEY who desired the job
but not the COST OF SAID JOB . Church is a BUSINESS to most these days .
But as you said not every church is false . BUT MANY ARE . AND if the leaders of said churches
are not wise in the LORD , THEN SIT DOWN and GET WISE IN THE LORD and THEN step back up and do some teaching .

Why would you think I would overlook errors for the sake of fellowship?? Bible reads are fine and good but, it is not real life fellowship in TRUTH. Why do you think I left that last church?? Had I wanted fellowship to the detriment of truth, I would have stayed brother. I do not have blinders on that I cannot see error and would NEVER sacrifice truth for fellowship!

Many of our brothers and sisters are in need, not just for bible reads but for practical reasons. I would NEVER overlook sound doctrine AND the whole council of God.

If I find fault in fellowship, I would simply leave.

NOT every man "twist things like the love of money ." There are still good church's out there brother and I will continue to pray and BELIEVE God will continue to give me discernment as He always does.

"IF its in the letters from the apostels THEN BELIEVE IT and DONT TRY and make excuse to go around it ."
Who's making "excuses"?

Thanks for your advise, again. God allows me free choice and I am exercising it in much prayer. No need to continue to warn me of this same thing over and over again brother. I know you mean well yet, you don't seem to understand where I am coming from.
God Bless.

I never said YOU would over look errors for sake of fellowship . I simply said what most do .
Not every church twists doctrine , sadly most do . My reminders are simply reminders not accusations .

Feeling low. I could use prayer.

I'm so sick of

-Friends that aren't friends
-My church not getting to know me beyond things I can do for them
-Being alone at five days out of the week because of Hubby's job.

I don't care if it makes me a weak person. I can't deal with it anymore. I don't think mankind is supposed to deal with loneliness well at all.

Dear heavenly Father, I pray that Wynona will not feel alone anymore, that people will see her value from the inside which is the most important in God's eyes and that they will want to spend time with her, in Jesus' name, amen!

Dosia · Sep 6, 2022

Father God, You know us, You know we need to bond with You first and humans too. You know, even though married, we still get lonely and need the friendship of others. Send Wynona a special close God fearing and loving friend, who will keep contact on a daily basis, to share not only about You, but to encourage and also share about everyday life, their families, their accomplishments, their joys, their pains and their sorrows, their recipes, their concerns, like even the world news, their wants and needs, and so much more. May this special friend remain a constant faithful and close friend in her life, so both of them may be blessed and thank You in advance for bringing them together, according to Your plan for them. May this prayer be heard and answered, In Jesus Name, Amen.

It's funny you say that. I mentioned this today when I decided to go to my volunteer center's lunch and prayer meeting because several of the ladies were knitting and cross stitching.

The food and fellowship was rich and I cried tears of joy that I was apart of it.

So happy for you! It's so wonderful to pray and watch Him work

"God said it is not good for man to be alone" <--- There's good reason He said this!
Glory to God in @amadeus style!
