Nearly two years ago I made a post about needing friends and hoping to find them in a small group at church. The issue with that is that my life completely revolves around my work. For instance I am currently in the middle of a 41 day stretch without a day off. I finally broke down and scheduled a day off in the middle of next week. With my schedule so crazy and such, it's hard to find time to seek out friends.
Plus it's weird at almost 28 to be trying to make friends. I feel like I'm in junior high or something. Tonight I went to a single ladies small group at my church. It was the first meeting and was awesome. It was a group of ladies around my age and single and really looking for the same thing I am.... friends in the same phase of life.
As I was leaving tonight I gave my number to a few girls in the group. One of them texted me her number and we started chatting about becoming friends. As I mentioned that I was excited about becoming friends, I felt like such a junior high kid hoping to find someone to eat lunch with in the cafeteria.
It's funny how really all of life you never have to search too hard to find friends. I mean you always have to make an effort, but all through school and college and such you are surrounded by people your age and in the same phase of life. But graduate from college and move off somewhere to work and the finding friends game gets harder than you think.
As awkward and junior high as it may have felt, I am super excited about my new friends I made tonight. One of them I already have lunch plans with on my day off this week!! Yay!! Hopefully this is the beginning of a few beautiful friendships!!
Until then......
