Friendships are so important.
Having time with your friend makes you feel great….and it is a much needed thing as in all relationships.
A close friendship provides a safe place to talk out struggles and what you are learning in life, revealing where you are, how your heart is faring in this wild wild world.
Having someone to talk to and bounce thoughts off of gives you a type of mirror for your thoughts and can help you see where you are blocking your own truth with lies, distortion, or ignorance.
I am lucky and truly blessed to have an amazing best friend.
I believe God put her in my life for purpose and that purpose has caused much growth in who I am as a person. I have been through the ups and downs and ins and outs with her and we are closer today than when we began over 11 years ago.
Even if we are talking to other people at the time and the other walks in the room if we meet each others gaze we light up…life is just so much brighter when she is in it!! ( It really is like when you were a little kid and your friend came over and you ran off together to have some grand adventure, share secrets and make pinky swears and vows of never ending friendship)
Maybe you want a friendship like this….
Is there someone you are drawn to but also you have an internal fear that is keeping your from opening up to close relationships?? Reach out! You may be surprised. One foot at a time.
Maybe you have one …
Keep opening up in honesty and truth, building trust, willing to be vulnerable, and hang on tight. No relationship is without its rollercoaster moments. You will either value the relationship and work hard toward togetherness or you will drift apart.
Maybe yours is just beginning…
Feel the excitement and enjoy every moment of discovery with your new friend…build goodness, truth, love and honesty into the fabric of your friendship….and don't forget to share your excitement. Your friend needs to know how much they make you happy.
GOD MADE FRIENDS…WE NEED THEM!!
