I have missed a good friend but someone gave me some advice when I moved. That was not to rush in. To slow down and draw closer to God to let him be my friend. It really has been such an incredible time in my spiritual life. And I still pray for a friend I'm thankful for this time.

Isn't it amazing how God loves to bless us with just the right friendships at just the right time? I treasure my friendships so much more after this season. I think it has made me a far better friend. I am glad you are finding friendships in your new home.

We were attending a church of over 3,000 and all the small groups had wrapped up by then and it was hard to meet people without small groups. I was so homesick and lonely through those months. But God knew what I needed...He grew me so much in that time. For some reason, my husband and I were patient and waited until the small groups started up again. We were invited to join in a young marrieds group, and those people are some of our best friends now. I'm thankful that we serve a God who knows our innermost needs. I pray that you will continue to find those people who are going to be willing to invest in you and encourage you. It really is tough!!Beth Branstetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876631771401704113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-36716380674861597012013-07-10T01:34:56.763-06:002013-07-10T01:34:56.763-06:00I love this post.

When we settled here where we live, I made a big effort with new people for a few years and was blessed with some great friendships as a result. I must say I had fallen into the too busy and no time to work build new friendships position...or so I thought until I recently made an effort with a lady who I met through the world of blogging who moved not only to my country, but our town. I realised I probably needed her at this time more than she me and wonder how many wonderful people I've missed getting to know and sharing part of life with by being so closed. A good reminder to not be closed, but willing to reach out. Thanks. Hope you feel settled soon.

Many playdates and book club meetings etc and I just haven't found anyone I've really connected with yet. And yet, I could try harder. Thank you for sharing on this topic. It's so relevant for so many of us.
