This new stage of my life, this stage of transition….does not come easy. My closest friends have dispersed all over the globe and though we still talk and pray for each other, it is not the same as it once was. In college, I just naturally hung out with the body of Christ. Now that we have all gone our separate ways, I just expected friends to appear and come natural. I moved into my new home and seriously thought, I will be fine without a small group of girls my age…I mean I am already in somewhat of a small group of Women of different ages (with me being the youngest) and leading a group of 8th grade girls. How prideful. Then one day in the fall I had lunch with a good friend of mine and she asked me if I had any friends in my new home town (city) I said no, never really thinking about it much….I went home and prayed about it…realizing how lonely I really was. No joke, that same day I met my first good out of college friend. She came over with her girl she nannys for and our girls played together (they were already friends)(ps I am a nanny as well…no I dont have children) I realized right then and there my need for companionship and community. I quickly got into a small group and began on an amazing road with beautiful women that are not afraid to share their imperfections and their struggles. I have been able to be more real with these ladies than ever before. I am so encouraged at how living life with others that are also striving for the Lord helps me learn and grow so much more! Even more so, I amazed at how so different we all are, we have become so close and fit together, making up each part of the body of Christ. If we have become so close after only 8 weeks of being together….wow I can not wait to see our growth for the next six months until I leave. I love you girls and praising Jesus for yall being a blessing in my life!
