Connectedness

Have you ever had this thought?

Other women are more connected than I am.

Or variations on the above:

Other women have more friends than I do. Other women aren’t lonely the way I am. Other women have closer, more meaningful relationships than I do.

I am finding, the more women I meet, that women everywhere long to have deeper friendships with other like-minded women, and to be challenged by them in their roles and wives, moms, and Christian women.

It’s really easy to sit at home waiting for an invitation to get together with someone, while the truth is many women are longing to form relationships with other women in their churches and communities. Someone has to make the first move!

We tend to think that other women are busier than we are and have more thriving social lives.  Or we’re too caught up in our own busyness to realize that there’s a woman at our own church who is longing to get connected.

So whether you are feeling lonely or have lots of friendships with other women, make a call this weekend.  Invite another woman to a play date, a Bible study, or out to coffee.  Plan a girls’ night out.  Welcome the new family at church over for dinner. Send an encouraging card or email.

Stop waiting for the phone to ring (or vibrate… mine is always on vibrate!). Get connected today and start reaping the benefits of friendships with other women.
