So, my kids have friends. They have playdates, classes, school- they have friends. They have time for friends.
I discovered tonight, I have friends too. Okay, I know I’ve always had friends, I’m a friendly-friend making person! BUT… Friends, true friends you can sit and laugh with, at and about, those are friends. I have great friends here I discovered tonight.
Our move this year was hard for me, making new connections, meeting new people. Once again, gaining friends hasn’t been hard but FRIENDS, even Girlfriends, that has been hard coming. Well, it’s here! There is something Godly in a group of 5 Christian women, sitting in a Mexican restaurant talking about life, our fears, joys and pregnancy stories all over over cheesed, over seasoned food.
I am truly blessed that even when I don’t need it or ask for it, God is providing me with exactly what I need. I have had a difficult year, to say the least, and I have prayed for patience, love, hope, trust and financial wisdom. I have prayed for health, healing, a better marriage, better kids, desire, MOPS… However, I have not prayed for Girlfriends. Yet, that is the one thing God keeps on trying to give me. Even when I don’t have time… He is prompting me, “Make time, my dear.” After fun and sharing tonight, I am thankful that God is the God of not only hearing our prayers but of providing for us what He desires as well. Thank you Lord for knowing what I need better than I do myself!
