I have been on this really exciting new friend kick lately. It has been difficult at times because I have had to drive 30 minutes when I am exhausted to meet with some friends, answer the phone when I really “couldn’t,” and get out of my comfort zone a little bit – but it has all been more than worth it.
I have joined 2 community groups via my church and started hangin out with a new family that just moved into town. It has been awesome.
I am moving in 2 months.
This fact makes me sad because it makes me realize that it took me about 7 months to start making these new friends and now I’m about to move on to El Paso, TX.
This fact also makes me happy because through this whole process, I have been re-shown how much fun, exciting, and fulfilling people are.
I love getting to know people and having people get to know me. Blake, one of my new friends, said yesterday, “the more somebody gets to know you, the more you know yourself.”
The number 1 thing that I have been most concerned with my move to El Paso is finding community, and just in these past 3 weeks, God has created some deep relationships here in Nashville getting me SO fired up for what is going to happen in EP.
Go be transparent with somebody, be vulnerable, and love. Make a new friend today.
Any new friend stories?
Any suggestions on community building (hold the cheese)?
Any cheese?

this one time i walked up this kid and said “want to be my friend?” and he said “sure.”
he was my first and best friend of all time.
i guess times were much simpler when i was five or six…
i oughtta try that out now and see if it works as well
why are things easier when we are 5 or 6? why do we ALLOW society to inhibit us? why dont we LIVE for God each day and fear him and him alone?
Friends are a hard one for me. I love being the center of attention and being everyones friend ……the problem with that is two things 1. I become a chamolean and adjus to the group of friends I am with which takes away from my true self REALLY BAD! 2. In becoming friends with everyone it takes time away from Noelle and Luke my Family whom are what matter the most so……..Jesus and my Family have become my friends which brings me contagios joy because I can always be me!!!!!!!
