Missing Friends
I still miss friends...you know, knowing people deeply. It takes time. I know that. And I am comparing everyone here (after 1 year) to everyone I knew (after 3 and a half years) in Tennessee. Generally things are better here, better church, better community of people to get to know. But, I guess it has dawned on me that no one here really needs my friendship like the community we had in TN. We all needed each other, even though we really weren't "perfect" friends for each other. Our ages were varied, our beliefs varied our interest were varied, but we had one thing in common...we needed each other's companionship and friendship. Also, I feel like everyone here is just too busy to have friends. What is that all about!?! Honestly it is impossible to find a night in a month when 2 families can get together to have dinner??? Life should not be like that! I just wish some one would ask me to coffee...

marci, will you come to coffee with me??? oh how i wish we could go have a vanilla latte together and share life together . . . it's tough moving somewhere new. we feel that also. moving the life that treated us so well in denver, to this crazy new city, where things and people just aren't the same. all we can do is just pray for each other, that relationships would happen, even if they turn up in the most random of places. i hope for good community for you, girl.
I'll pray for you...if you pray for me. I have been thinking on this a lot lately. Friendships are a blessing from the Lord. They happen randomly and when you least expect it. I have been trying SO hard to make friends and it just isn't happening. I think God is tryin to tell me something...I am just not sure what.
