After Spain, sometimes I prefer to eat by myself, walk around by myself, go to movies and museums by myself. I blame Spain on my newfound introverted-ness! But I also sort of love it.<BR/><BR/>That's a really great prayer to pray, Kelly. I too have noticed that I leave social settings more fulfilled if I have prayed that my interactions would glorify God and not that I would have a great time and feel super comfortable.<BR/><BR/>Friendship is give and take. You, Kelly, are a giving friend who has been there for me over the years - wow, 4 and a half years! It is my joy to be there for you, to laugh with you and celebrate with you and cry with you because these are the ways you have been there for me. There are times when we need others, and this isn't sinful or selfish, but a way for others to take joy in serving you.<BR/><BR/>Blah blah, I love you.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339032483818529474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29191579.post-15757461744095881132008-11-27T08:43:00.000-06:002008-11-27T08:43:00.000-06:00What a lovely, honest and encouraging post.
