They just haven't evolved to the point I'd hoped. The potential for some of the relationships is there. They just haven't evolved to the point I'd hoped.

I actually don't think I'm difficult situation as far as like or job. I think I am missing a critical component but I think I'm right where God wants me and I'm excited to see where he takes me next.

See?? I told you you had something to say. This is amazing, Chris! I have had similar experiences in trust when it comes to who supports you when you do things. I don't know why it seems to be easier to find help from strangers than it is to get it from those who say they love you. Community is definitely important, it's God-designed, though it's hard for those of us with big trust issues. As I said in my post on this topic, I'm learning that trust is not really something that we have or not, but something that grows. But we must be willing to take the first step. Seriously. This is great. Do it more often. K? Oh, my goodness. See?? I told you you had something to say. This is amazing, Chris!

As the mom to boys probably close to your age, I so appreciate your courage to wear your heart on your sleeve, listen to God's call, and boldly go where He has led you. Would love to hear about your defining moment when you were "not the easiest nut to crack." And yes, you made me cry. That's why it took me 12 hours to reply.

I had to read this a few times because different parts kept speaking to me and I forgot what the rest said. I feel very much the same in many ways. How often I sat at the altar pouring my heart out all alone wondering why no one else saw me. I can think of times where people came up to pray for those all around me but I was completely overlooked. Other times I have been in the place to make impossible decisions but not able to reach anyone who could offer advice ... so I went forward all alone in the decision. This seems to be the story of my life, going it alone. Still I have used this as encouragement that I should look for the one trying to go it alone, either by their own choice or for being overlooked some how and to come alongside them. Every service I carefully watch the altars and if a guy is up there alone I go and if it is a girl I send my wife or some of the female students. That is one of the hardest places to be all alone.

After I became a Christian, for a long time I felt like I was fending for myself. No mentor, no counselor, no advisor. And I floundered for a long time. But I had a loving Christian wife, and we usually managed to find good churches that provided "structure" and soild teaching (sometimes that took a while, though). But it was often hard.
