This was very helpful to me. I do not make friends easily. And due to circumstances in the past I had decided that it is easier to just not confide in or get involved with people. That changed when I God came into the picture About three and a half years ago. And now God has got me taking chances on people again. It is risky at times but the rewards can out weight the risk. I am meeting with a woman this week that has been looking for a new friend, as I have been. It was such a God ordained moment, the day before she asked if I wanted to meet for a soda I had been crying out to God about needing a close friend. My one friend moved out of state last August, and one lives 60 miles away, and the other one works and then spends most of her time with her sick husband. I call all my friends and keep in touch via email but it is not the same as sitting down face to face and talking over a cup of coffee, or going out for a sandwich etc. I miss having someone that I can hang out with
