My {in process} Story
Thank you for the reminder. We are looking at Andrew finishing his Ph.D. within the year and potential relocation for a job – I have fears of total life transition. As you, I am drawn to the lone momma as I struggle with being her. Thank you for words of truth and encouragement again. Peace on your day.
This is such an important message, and I love your challenge to meet three new people this school year. I’ve been the “new girl” before, and it does make you more sensitive to the one standing alone at a new gathering. Thank you for sharing this – I’m visiting from Thought Provoking Thursdays
thanks courtney. yes, i think it takes being the “new girl” to have any kind of desire to pursue the new girl. we can’t let our own comfort get in the way of welcoming others. thanks!!
Like you, I lived in the same house for the first 18 years of my life. My first move was to college. Since graduating, I’ve moved several times. The most recent was to Dallas 2 years ago. Since my nature is of a more introverted type, it’s challenging for me to put myself out there to meet and greet. However, being in the ministry has helped me walk purposefully, meeting and welcoming new friends as well as becoming better acquainted with old friends.
What a wonderful message this morning. Thank you!
Visiting from Thought Provoking Thursday.

But will you be at relevant? just found out i get to go! so excited. crazy we would have to meet in PA when we both live in Dallas!!
