i had tea with a girl from work today... we discussed where we're at as far as our christian lives go, what we're reading, what we're learning. our hopes our dreams our desires for a deeper relationship with God. it's incredible that we network and meet people, and discuss ideas in our "secular" lives, and yet when it comes to sharing with others about our spiritual needs we clam up. why aren't we networking? is it only me? is everyone out there networking and providing support to each other?

why do i feel so alone? not that i would want to lean on people, i look to God for everything, and that's the way it should be. but i yearn to have proper deep , meaningful conversations with people who are on the same path as me, who understand what i'm going through, and who will be able to provide guidance. i need guidance. encouragement. and there are so many more out there too.

new christians especially need that, because we're not established and the old way is but a step away...

ok, maybe i'm ranting. but i hope that there are people out there who feel the same way. or just understand. and more who hold out their hands.
