Thankful Thursday?

First of all, I don't know why I'm writing this since virtually no one knows this blog exists. O well, I guess I'm just venting.

I know many people write Thankful Thursday blogs. They talk about things they are thankful for in their lives. Its a great way to stay positive, but right now I just can't do it.

Thursdays are my worst day of the week. Strange, I know. I believe it is because Thursday is when everyone starts looking toward the weekend. Only one more day of work and it's here. That's exciting...right? Not for me. I have no one to spend my weekends with. No Friday night movies with the girls, Saturday lunches, or just getting together to take a walk. I have lived in Durango since April 2008 and faithfully attended the same church the entire time, yet I still have no one. Where else am I supposed to meet people? Honestly. Tell me and I'll go.

The lack of human interaction leaves me so depressed I feel paralyzed. I am outgoing, fun loving, and think I can be a pretty good friend, but I am left completely lost. Hurting. Confused. Should I leave Durango? Is this just not the place for me? But I like it. Despite everything I don't feel like I'm ready to go. Maybe I need a new path. I need encouragement and I need friends so very badly.

Please God help me. Lead me and give me strength. If its time to move on I will, just tell me where to go. Please hold me and catch my tears. Bring me to you as that is the only place I can find real peace.

Well howdy! This is my very first blog post. I really only started this so I could comment on another blog, but here I am feeling as though I should write something so my blog isn't empty.

Right now I would like to ask anyone who reads this to pray my pastor's family. Their family was struck by a horrible tragedy today when their house caught on fire this morning. Praise the Lord there were no injuries, but their house has very extensive damage. They just brought home two toddlers from Africa last month and have (I believe) four other children still living at home. For their blog please see http://aplacecalledsimplicity.blogspot.com/. Please excuse me for not knowing how to do a proper link!

Well that's all I'll say for now. I'd really like to find some friends here in Durango as I am quite lonely, so I'd love to hear from you (I'm not biased I'll take friends from other places too!).

Much love,
Mich
