On my own. That's how I felt. I was single, living in an efficiency apartment in Cleveland, and about the only one I could really talk to was God. I distinctly remember writing letters to God; letting him know I loved him and how I wanted to love my neighbor as much as myself. But I felt as if something was missing. I read the Bible. I went to Mass every Sunday. I prayed daily. And I wrote my letters. But I was so lonely, spiritually lonely. Then one February evening as I sat in my apartment, the phone rang. I picked up the phone and did not recognize the man's voice. He told me his name—Randy—and then said that he and a few friends were down in my apartment building lobby and would like to come up to my room. This stranger told me that he and his friends wanted to talk about the Lord. Well, my initial feeling was fear. Seriously. Here I am just 24-years old, living in a not-so-great section of Cleveland. My mother and father would always tell me to be extra careful in that area. "How about I come down there," was my reply. And so I went to the lobby and met Randy and a few other Christians. After we talked a few minutes, they asked me if I'd be interested in having a weekly Bible study. Without hesitation, I said I would very much like this. When these Christians left and I had gone back up to my apartment, I sat on my bed, and said, "Lord, I don't know who those people were or why they came to this apartment building and visited me, but I know that there is something missing." I quickly realized that there had to be much more to my Christian life than just me and my personal Jesus. I needed other Christians—the many members of the Body of Christ. I needed a church life! Yes, there was, and there still is MUCH MORE. I'm no longer on my own. I now love and serve my precious Jesus with many other believers. Together, we read; together we pray; together we sing; together we fellowship; and together we strive to keep the Lord as our first and best love. Now there's more than He and Me; there's He and We!
