As some of you may already know, I have vowed to "find" my friends this year. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong, but somehow over the past four months I have completely lost touch with nearly every friend.
My quest got an early start and is continuing on a decent pace, but all of this friend finding has me in a reflective mood.. These dear women that I am rediscovering are treasured gifts that I do not take for granted. You see, friendship has not always come easily for me. In fact, at times, it has been intensely painful.
In the next few blog posts I am going to take you through my evolution of friendship. Our starting place is ugly. So ugly that I hesitate to begin there. But I don't read books backwards. So we will start in the trenches and from there, we will only have one way to climb.

Love you sweet friend! So glad God put you in my life.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful to have you as a friend during these early and often challenging years of motherhood. You have been an encouragement, joy and delight and are a blessing to me!
