anyone

I was just wondering if there was anyone in the calgary area? (calgary, AB, Canada)

Last night...I was at work...and afterwards I just fell apart...There were so many filthy conversations that I overheard...and it just really bothered me...
I couldn't stop crying on my way home.

How can I live in this life? Is this loneliness for a season?

My family is very much into feel good churchianity...But as for myself? God has been kind to drawn me to the old paths...and that has created a really difficult relationship with my family now...We do not see eye to eye...and since I do not go with them to their church...or any "church" for that matter...They do tend to treat me as though I'm lost...This really saddens me also...

If there is no one in calgary or anywhere close by? That's ok...I just thought I would check...I've just all of a sudden felt overcome with sadness... I know this will pass... and I must continue to put my trust in His goodness..and strength...For those things I have not... But I do so desire fellowship... and I fully believe that is a good desire...

1 John 3:14: We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15: Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16: Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 John 4:11: Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Please pray for me in this...
Thank you all for you time.

Praying for you right now

I am praying for you also.

Is there a brother available that could make contact with Josh?

I have found that when grief overwhelms me like that it is usually a call from the Holy Spirit to intercede.

I will also pray that you might find fellowship there in Calgary.

In Christ,

Ron

Ecclesiastes 7:2: It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
3: Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4: The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

Thank you all for your prayers...
I am very grateful.

and thank you Natan4Jesus for your recommendation...I have awhile ago listened to that one message from Mr. John Piper on the life of Brainerd... and I've been able to read also the Life and Diary of David Brainerd...

Thank you for suggesting it again...I recall his heart in that book...I will look into it again.
