Bible college

[martha123]

Hey everyone,I've started this year at a well known bible college,it has been great and I've learnt so much already,though at times I feel like I seem to be on an emotional rollercoaster due to the spiritual growth you go through. But I feel like there isn't anyone to talk to about spiritual problems. At the bible college I go to the pastors/people high up in the church have an almost "celebrity status" and it's impossible to talk to them,even our teachers are always extremely busy,It just makes it hard when you don't really feel like there's anybody to talk to apart from other students,people who have been there done that. Anyway of one the things I'm finding hard is that at bible college we are in this safe little christian bubble,constantly being fed and having chapel everyday. I love this but I feel like I've hit a wall,that I just can't go forward and feel hungry for God anymore. I came here passionate for God and I've learnt and grown so much but at the same time feel like I'm lost my passion for him,if that makes any sense..anyway thanks for reading my little rant

I know someone who felt the same way you did. My friend Suj went to Medical School where he did not know anyone. He stopped reading the Bible and praying, and he was slipping on his faith. Now Suj was a youth director for 2 years at our Church. He met me about 8 month ago, and I came to the faith 10 months ago. He was super nice to me, and I was happy for his help because it is tough navigate through the world of Christianity as a new christian. There are many fakes. Anyways, a few months ago he called me up and told me how he felt. Even though he has known many of the church kids for over 4 years, he called me up because he feels closest to me. He told me how lonely he felt and we talked about it. Afterwards, I prayed for him over the phone, and send him an email regarding the Bible verses I had mentioned during our talk. A few days later he posted "u da man" on my facebook. Looks like he was feeling much better. But I make it a point to reach out to him.

I guess what I'm saying is that God will always place people around us that can uplift us when we are sad. The moment I came to the faith, people I knew for years abandoned me, but people I barely knew became my strongest friends. Fellowship is important, but you do not need to be next to the person to have fellowship

I'm not sure if my story helped, but I hope it did. Pray about it, and God will help.

Thanks,that helps,I feel the same way when I really started pursuing a relationship with God some of my friends left me,but now I have new friends who have given me a lot of support which is great. but it's still good to have an older person to talk to.
