Trust. It's a big word for me! These days letting anybody new in is HUGE for me. I've been hurt so often in my young life that I'm hesitant to let anybody in, especially NEW people. The scripture verse for this whole adventure is: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6.
So, have I made any progress in the Friendship adventure this week?!! I thought you'd never ask! Of course I have! I actually put myself out there and invited one of these people to do lunch one day this summer and she agreed! No date has been set! I think it's safe to say that I have a list of 6 people. They come from all different walks of life. There's a college student, two ladies from my church, a real estate agent in the next city over from me, and two authors. Six different people God has put in my path! It might take me a bit to get to know these people. Also, during this adventure there are some friendships that I will nurture that are already in place. There are 5 specific friendships that I will work on nurturing! I"m excited.
Out of all 11 relationships new and old...6 of them are long distance! Yep, go figure! It's worth it though. I think Mom would be proud. Speaking of my mom, there's a song I'm going to attach to this video. If there were any song that I feel mom would use to talk to me and give me words of widsom this song would be it. I have only listened to it once since she died because it sends me to tears EVERY time.
So, onward I march toward the friendship adventure! Come along! Follow this blog and let's celebrate this adventure with God together! Watch the video below please! Psst...Leave comments for me! i love getting comments on my blogs! Be nice please!
