Day 38

Today started off not that great. Someone that I considered a friend decided she didn't want to be friends anymore. Apparently it's b/c I'm a Christian. I have never forced my beliefs on anyone. I know this friend isn't a believer, and I have NEVER treated her any different that I would any other friend. But today she just lost it. I never understand how someone can turn their back on a friendship so easily. And what's ironic - it's b/c I'm a Christian. It seems more and more that non-Christians are always saying the Christians are too judgmental, blah blah blah, but then they turn right around and judge all Christians. Not all Christians are the same, and I get tired of being lumped together w/ every bad Christian someone has met.

Ok, better get off that soapbox. ;)

After the incident w/ my friend, I was very hurt. so I posted what happened to my yahoo groups that are for Christian moms. I got so much support and positive feedback. It was wonderful!! I realized I have some great friends, even if none of them live in the same state as me. :( I realized even though I feel alone at times, I have great friends I can turn to.

Something else I learned - a lot of them have the same "alone" feeling I do. They haven't really connected with another Godly woman that lives close to them. So we are all praying for God to bring a special, Godly woman into each of our lives to be that "best friend" that we are searching for.

Let me just say here - Christopher is definitely my best friend. I have the most amazing husband ever!! But sometimes a woman needs another woman. Girls, you know what I mean. ;)

I did talk to another friend after all this happened, and while I was talking to her I realized - it might be for the best that this friend is out of my life. I'm sure God put her in my life for a season, but that season is over. It's time to let that one go. So that's what I've done. I'm not hurt anymore, I'm accepting it and moving on. Life is good. :)

I got my new cellphone today!! It's so cool, and it's pink!!!! Gotta love pink!
