felt so incredibly loved, blessed beyond belief, and yet still so alone? Yeah I know... it doesn't make sense. I really think I'm feeling this way because we don't have any friends here. I recognize the amazing friends and family I have but am so in need of good quality time with friends now. God has truly helped me through this time by giving me peace, but some days are still rough. Come to think of it, those are the days that I'm acting and thinking a little more selfishly... hmm...
I know it isn't a bad thing to want or need time with friends, but the days that I'm really putting my focus and energy into my family and God, I don't feel that so much. Something to think about maybe...
I really didn't have any coherent thoughts to share, but I felt like I needed to get some of those thoughts/feelings out somehow. So here ya go. :)
Would appreciate prayers-- for peace, for the right job for Cameron, wisdom and discernment on our part, and a change of heart if God's plans are not our current desires.

I love you so much! Praying for you and the family!!
Definitely praying Kristen! You are such an amazing woman... someone I feel I can look up to. Love you.
oh i know exactly what you mean. i have lots of friendships online but i don't have a close friend or group of friends here to spend actual time with. i LOVE my family and i am so grateful to have them...but i feel like i need female companionship too. i lost the relationship with my best friend four years ago and things have never been the same since...it's kinda spiraled downward, i think. i've felt rather discouraged about it all lately!
Kristen - this is very common. And the older I get, the more difficult it seems to be. (not to completely discourage you!!)
Friendships are rare, precious, and so precious. When we were little girls - we threw around terms like, "best friend" and "friends forever" all the time.
Now, as we age, we realize the power and prestige of those words.
I will pray that God will provide you just the right person -- right there -- someone to have coffee with, or go to the park with -- because He wants to fulfill the desires of your heart, and your needs as a mom and woman.
I miss you my friend!!
