Sometimes it's so hard to step out on a new limb and make new friends. My heart fears being hurt and broken like it has in the past by some who have trampled it, but what is life without relationships with others? I love that Christ is a perfect example of this. A man who was forsaken and betrayed by many, including some of his closest friends, and yet he still calls us to love even our enemies. On Friday I had the privilege of hanging out with one of my old friends from high school. I had such a good time just chatting and catching up with her. For her to share her heart with me, and I mine with her. I left feeling full and joyful. So blessed to have friends both old and new....the old ones aren't perfect, we've all had our times of growth, growing apart, and some even growing back together again. I've been lacking a lot of confidence lately. Fearing not being good enough for those around me. It was there on Friday night that God just filled me up again. Reminded me how valuable I was. That I was someone worth knowing. For as hard as it is to step out on that limb and make new friends it made me really rejoice that I ever gave people the chance to be my friend in the first place...that someday I could call them old friends. There is so much safety found in old friends. Things that don't have to be explained because they know your fears and your past hurts and they love you for them regardless.
Thank you Kris for a great night and a small glimpse into your life and your heart! Love you!!!
