lonely

[Godsgurl4ever2006]

This is some poetry that I wrote after finding something out today

I sit alone in a room full of people
I sit and ponder what blue yonder all my friends are in
I sit and reminise about the promise they made to never leave or forsake me
I sit and the realization comes to me that Christ is still here and has kept his promise
I sit and know that i am never alone even when my friends arn't there

Godsgurl,
I just wonder if your poem reflects feelings that you have often. I can relate to the thoughts in your poem, because I too feel like my old friends have turned away from me. I've been sober for over five years now, and my old party buddies don't come around or call anymore. I guess that we don't have much in common any more. I still have a few friends who aren't saved, that I still fish with sometimes, but that's about it. The people at my church are good to me, but I don't have much in common with them. I feel like I'm straddling the fence sometimes. I don't fit in with the suit and tie crowd at church, nor to I fit in around my old friends. I spend a lot of time in recent years fishing wilderness areas, and some days I don't see anyone. I do know the Lord is with me always, but I like companionship with other men also. My wife is a good friend to me, but sometimes guys like to talk guy stuff. I just don't know where I fit in sometime. I feel like a stranger in a strange land. Even when I'm at school (college),I feel like the odd man out. This kind of lifestyle has never been my "style". I've always been very outgoing, and love to fellowship and have a good time. It's just tough for me to find any Christian guys who share the same interests as I do. I'm sure that I'll be just fine, but I would enjoy some Christian friendship with another outdoorsman like myself. Maybe the Lord will send some new friends our way soon Godsgurl. Until then, I'll continue on my work in the mission field at my school. I start nursing school in the fall, so maybe I'll meet some interesting people there. You guys take care, and be cool. PEACE. I'm OUT. Darby

Wow...that was great Godsgurl! And so true too! We are never ever alone as long as we have Christ in our lives. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Very good, thanx for sharing your creativity.

When GOD is our reality, our reason and source, then we stand when people let us down---and they always will. But He is our rock and foundation when the storms come.



Darby, I hope you will seek another church, with youth groups that do activities. They're out there, they go camping, hiking, water-skiing, now skiing, bowling, roller-skating (it's fun if you know how to not-fall-down), even golfing. Ever thought of golfing? Call some churches in your area and see what activities they have...

And best wishes in school. (Always start assignments the day they're given, finish term papers early, go ask questions if you don't understand, never be a "last-minute-student". Never study for tests---if you're up and on top, every day, "cramming" isn't necessary...)

Good poem GG! I'm glad you see that God is with you even when your friends aren't. That helps me when I'm lonely too.
