In this post it will be mainly for my fellow Christian-believers, but, anyone is welcome to read and interpret.
I have been home for four weeks, and I have to say that I have been quite lonely. I am the only Christian in my household, so it is tough wanting to talk about God. It has been frustrating because I only know of a few believers that I went to high school with. Although we still talk about life and God, it doesn't feel like enough.
In my prayers, I've been asking God to let me meet new people who have faith in Jesus. I pray this because I want to become more involved in my community and become a member of a church.
What amazes me is how God has answered my prayer. Now a believer, I have met and talked to many people who believe in the Bible. An instance includes spending time with some people on New Years Eve. Only knowing one friend going in, I now know people who believe in God's Word, and live it out. It's amazing how God brings His people together.
Another instance when God brought me to His people was when I attended a church last Sunday. At this church, there were many people that my family has known for years... I also met some more people who were pleased to have us visit their church.
It is hard living in a world where some people hate God and despise everything about Christianity. But, God reminds us that we are not alone, and He will do whatever it takes to bring His people together. I have experienced God opening my eyes to see and meet more of His people, and it excites me to want to meet even more.
