Step out

Saturday night we had another book club. This group of woman had never been more fun! We laughed, cried, and had some good conversation about the book "Captivating" by  John & Staci Eldridge. Most of the laughter came from the movie Bridesmaids that most of us had just recently seen. It was so fun!

I left feeling like i was so normal.

A lot of the conversation revolved around wanting a good friend.
A kindred spirt.
A friend you can call anytime.
Some to laugh, cry, and be scared with.

Someone who thinks like you.
Someone who thinks about you.
Someone who knows your heart and protects it.

I remember when a couple first came to creekside. I sought her out. I wanted to be her friend. I thought we would be a lot alike, and at the time i was praying for a friend who lived close who i could share my heart with.

i remember so vividly her words to me one Sunday morning. After talking with her and inviting her and her husband over to our house, she replied to me " you know i have friends right Kathy?"

I was so hurt.

Maybe I needed a friend.

I think often people believe everyone has friends. Everyone has someone they can call to share their heart with. But when you really talk to people, the majority don't.

And if they do have a friend, they aren't so eager to lend a hand to another.

Something to think about.

Be that friend to someone. Just because you have a best friend, someone you can call and talk with about everything and anything, doesn't mean every woman does. There are so many woman aching for a friend who remembers they are there.


There is a void in woman that only woman can fill.

Step out and be a friend.

I always need a friend.
