I've been telling myself for the past five years that I didn't need friends. I went through a divorce a few years back that basically left me friendless and I've not been too interested in opening myself up again to anyone. Since the divorce and everything surrounding it happened I've pretty much withdrawn from church and only have contact with people at work (predominantly male environment) and at family gatherings. My sister-in-law has been asking me to join her women's Bible study recently and I've been mulling it over. It scares me to think of going back into that type of setting and having to be open and honest with people who could potentially hurt me. And yet there was something about your post that caused an ache in my heart...a longing for a friendship like the one you have. Like you, I'm not the hugging sort of friend and I can be quite reserved so I'm not the easiest person to get to know. Now I just have to summon up the courage to decide to go to that Bible study...and to post this comment! lol Thanks for sharing through your blog. It's an encouragement to me! Hope you have a beautiful sunny day in your corner of the world! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
