Hi all,
I’ve been a Christian for about two years now, I still feel ‘new’ as such because only in the past couple of months have I realised I was calling myself a Christian, but not putting in much effort into getting to know Jesus, reading the Word and so forth.
I have grown in faith since I began purposely filling my day with Jesus and making progress in reading the Bible. However as my faith has grown, so has my loneliness. I am the only christian in my family. The church in my little village is very small and sadly marked for closure. I have no Christian friends.
As I make new discoveries with scripture and new questions come along, I really miss not having anyone to share with, to grow in faith with. I listen to Christian podcasts and sometimes become envious when they talk about their Christian community, friends and family. Not in a malicious way, I’m so pleased others do have this, I just feel sad that I don’t.
We will have new neighbours moving in very soon, a rare event in this sleepy little village and I have been praying and praying that they may be Christians.
I have not long applied for an access course in Christian Theology but again because of where I live, it has to be distance learning.
Has anyone been in this position? What changed if anything? What can I do?
