I am not alone in this...

After my previous post, I came across two more nearly identical posts from two completely different women. Cuh-razy? I think not! We women struggle with the exact. same. issues. How I find this a concept to marvel at I've no idea. It's obviously the way we women were wired, for REAL, deep, soul-fulfilling relationships. Not those based entirely on gossip, slander, or superficial discussion but the kind that dive head-first into the deeper issues.

Pain.
Loneliness.
Pride.
Suffering.
Jealousy.
Anger.
Dishonorable thoughts.
Sadness.
Envy.
Love.
Sinful thoughts.
Longing.
Disbelief.

The list is endless. These relationships are the comfortable, drop-in-unannounced-stay-as-long-as-you-like kind. You leave each meeting satisfied, whole, nearly complete and fulfilled having a sister in Christ.

Yep.

And two other women chose to write about this issue, just as I did.

Read Elizabeth's account HERE.
Read Nicole's account HERE.

Amazing, really.

I am not alone in this...


PS- Angie Smith's new book, What Women Fear, also has an ENTIRE chapter dedicated to this issue. And I am loving every page (as well as the other chapters!). I highly recommend it.
