friends

I have seasons in my life when I re-evaluate. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this. I often think about my friendships during those seasons. I am not one to be very outgoing, in that I don't often pursue friendships but wait for them to happen to me. I often feel like I don't have enough friends or that I don't have that one close friend to run to. I have a great husband, I worship a great God and I feel like that should be enough but there is still that hole that is unfilled that only a girl friend can fill for you. Someone that will sympathise and empathise with you when you are overwhelmed with life. Not listen to you complain, I don't have anything to complain about, but just relate to you in the way that only another mom/wife/woman can.

So in this season of re-evaluation I have set out to sove this problem. I am going to find that confidant, that soul mate of friends. I have had 3 others but space and station of life have dragged us apart and I miss it and I didn't have to search them out....it just happened. So how does one go about making that happen? Pray....check. Talk to more people than usual....check. Smile.....check. Get involved with something new...check. What is next? I tell my kids "how" to do it all the time and I make it sound so natural and easy. But talk is cheap, it isn't that easy to just throw yourself out there. But there it is, my challenge to myself for this season of re-evaluation.........
