Earlier this past summer, I stepped away from the real world and into a world of friends--true friends who see who you are and who you can be. After that weekend I felt new.
In spending time with these women, I began to remember who I want to be. I began to remember who I'm called to be. All it took was one weekend, two days, a long car ride, and 48 hours of deep conversation.
That's true friendship...true community. And that's what I desire.
Time has gone on. We have new babies, new relationships, new experiences among us, but I can't wait for our get away next year.
Build relationships that make you stronger. Don't give up because it's difficult. Stick it out for the long haul. You'll eventually realize that people are always worth the cost.
Excellent - so true and something we quite often forget! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI can really appreciate this! I've spent a lot of time in the past few months thinking about friendship and what's truly important to me. It's good to recognize what you need to be your very best self.
