BFF

Tonight I noticed my desk calendar is still on November 18th, the date that I last changed it.  It must have been right before I started to get really sick and found out the cancer was growing and with a vengeance.  It's hard to believe that it's been that long since my life was "normal".    


That's really not what is on my mind tonight.  I've been thinking about friendships and how lonely life can be.  I spend time reading other blogs, devotions written by women and stalking Facebook only to find myself longing for "real life" friendships.  Over the years I've had a few women I considered my bffs but, things happened and those women are gone along with a small piece of my heart.  Now, I'm guarded with my heart and my feelings.  I see so many women who appear to have tight relationships with other women and I long for that.  I long for friends that I can call up to go shopping or just bum around with.  I have a lot of women I know but none that I'm close to.  I think that if they knew the deepest parts of me it would be too much, somehow I wouldn't be enough.  I know I'm not alone in this and that's why I'm writing about it.  There are many of us out there who long for close relationships with other women.  The older I get the harder it seems to be.  So, I'm gonna do what I tell everyone to do and pray that God will bring me a bff (besides Clay).  He knows my heart and knows exactly what I need.  If you are feeling lonely too leave me a comment and I will pray for you too.  We aren't alone we just have to find one another.

I understand your sentiment. First sick and then unemployed, I have been stuck in this house with basically myself for what seems like FOREVER...and I often find myself wanting to go do something, but then I wonder why, knowing I'd have to go do it alone. Which isn't bad. But sometimes...you just want to laugh and giggle and make memories, and you look absolutely crazy if you're giggling on your own and those memories don't impress at a party. "Remember that time that I..." No, they don't. No one else was there. So yeah, I get it. God will answer for the both of us. We're too...us...not to. Haha.
