I LOVE the women in my life!! God has so richly blessed me with friends and family across this country. I am so thankful for technology and that they are just a text/call or FaceTime away.
God has given us women the desire for relationships. We NEED girlfriends. We need relationship. We need coffee/tea dates; exercise buddies; shoulders to cry on; prayer partners; recipe exchangers; mentors; ears to listen and counselors.
We must to be purposeful about our friendships. The enemy likes to detour us with busyness. He knows that iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17) so he will do what he can to keep us from spending time with our girls.
Don't let busyness be an excuse. Plan a 30 minute coffee date, a 15 minute phone conversation or a 1 hour dinner with a friend this weekend. I've found that if you put a time frame on it, it is doable and not so much pressure.
Someone needs you this week. Make that phone call!
Dee, I'm thankful God has placed you in my life. It's funny because I feel so connected to you even though we spent just a short time together at Contours! You made a positive impact on me and I feel like we just "gel." Love your Blog! :) - Tracy
