In your writing you stated you commandeered your men's group, however what do you do when you have "no group", no family, no support, and you do not want to try to afford therapy. When you know there is more but you can't find it and you don't know where to turn.
Please do not say join a group on line. I am in more than I can handle and people do not know where to put me. I am not the average with children, grandchildren, and been married for 25 years Christian person. NO I am the person who has been looked over at the churches because there are no children, the person because they have been married more twice doesn't fit in with the "normal church" people. The person no one has anything to talk about with because they don't have groups for me at churches, but I live in a very hard situation at home, nobody understands why I have not left, nobody really listens because after you have been told over and over from "well meaning" Christian people, "you have a very hard situation and I know God has something great for you, just be patient and wait on the Lord", then poof they vanish and you have no one but your animals and the Holy Spirit to talk to for years. How do you find "your" people.
I have asked this question to so many people that always have answers to how they got out of their "gloom" as a Christian, but like you most of them had "great groups" they were in and they were understood.
People like me we try to be vulnerable and put our hearts out there again and most of the time "well meaning" Christians or "well meaning" people just don't have anything to say so they avoid us like the plague. I am not looking for THE answer, I am not looking for an answer, I am just looking for people like me who just want to be able to develop a friendship, to have a group who understands where a person comes from when they don't have children, they have had more than two bad marriages, they love God and they want to "run after Him" like "normal" Christians do, but when we are hurting or in a hard place the "normal" Christians, or "normal" church do not have a place, a group, a meeting, a coffee time, a cell group, a dinner, or even a church class for us to be able to go and be that person or group for those who need someone like me.
Does God send people to us, people like us, people who want to chase after God but who don't look like "normal" Christian people. There is not a church here near me that supports anything about my life, and right now moving is not even an availability. I am just wondering were do those of us that don't have a "group" like normal Christians, who does God send them to?
