I have a heart to help people; especially young people. I have a Bachelor's degree in pastoral studies and I can't wait to find a youth pastorate. Right now, I'm trying to pay off my school bill. I am married to a wonderful young lady who completes me. I don't know everything, by far, but I'll make this promise to you. Any advice I can offer will come from the infallible Word of God. What makes me think I can offer anything worthwhile. Well, it's God Who has the answers, but He utilizes His people as instruments. I, by reason of use (Heb.5), am able to help you understand what God says about your problem and how to respond to it. May God bless you and use me for His glory. --ByReasonofUse

Hey, welcome to the club! Just kidding. I do know what you're feeling, so you're not alone. My parents divorced when I was young too. I do know my cousins and my dad's side of the family pretty well, just because I spent time with them before the divorce and kept in touch with them afterwards. However, in recent years, we've kind of grown apart. My grandfather told me about 3 years ago that some of the family felt like I didn't want to be associated with them. Obviously, that's totally wrong. Telephones work two ways. Here's my point, the only way to get to know anyone is by spending time with them. So keep in touch with them, but tell them that they can call you too. We're all busy in life and aren't always looking for a spare time to call distant relatives. So set up a plan with them and stick to it. It will be awkward at first, but they're family so it's worth it. Give them a call. It helped me.
