Growing up, it was easy to fit in (in a small high school, it is easier) - then later living in my same "culture" (west coast), it was still easy to make friends. When I moved to PA, it took several years for solid friendships to develop. Now, we moved to AL and I can honestly say that I have yet to make some of those solid friendships.<BR/><BR/>However, through this process, God has continually called me back to Himself - "you really only need me, child. Everything else is extra".<BR/><BR/>I hear you on the loneliness aspect and hurt for you, also. Take time to get filled up from Him and then what you get from others is just overflow.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see that you are still blogging! Keep seeking Him.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979209821976003043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894081849841708173.post-7378854324605331612009-01-20T05:51:00.000-06:002009-01-20T05:51:00.000-06:00I enjoyed your post about 'wanting more'.

It provoked alot of thoughts for me and verbalized *well, typed* so many of the feelings I have too. <BR/><BR/>One point of disagreement--I LOVE Coke Zero!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894081849841708173.post-91250139520695372032009-01-19T23:38:00.000-06:002009-01-19T23:38:00.000-06:00Well said.I've found (for myself at least) that th...Well said.<BR/><BR/>I've found (for myself at least) that the more I put myself out there, the better the friendships that develop. If people don't see me trusting them with my life, then they don't usually open up in return.<BR/><BR/>It's also hard when there are toddlers around constantly!<BR/><BR/>I've always said that the best friends I've ever had were at college. There were no other people (husband or kids) that I needed to worry about in addition to building friendships.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769941926796069216noreply@blogger.com
