Why My Heart Breaks

It breaks for the Christian woman who is barely holding on to her faith in Christ.

It breaks for the wife who is in a marriage filled with strife, bitterness, loneliness, opression, or God forbid, a form of abuse.

It breaks for the weary woman who doesn't know where to turn for strength, hope, and peace.

It breaks for the one who feels insecure, unsupported, and worried in her many roles of life.

It breaks for the lonely woman with only shallow friendships because she lives in a prison built by her own walls.

It breaks for all the women who are serving the Lord day in and day out who have been wounded by others.

If any of these describe you, friend, then know that I truly do hurt with you and I weep because I can't do much to help.

I'm Looking for a Friend

When I was in my 30's I read a book on how to be a friend.  (Who does that?) Me, because I was damaged goods and clueless in the friend department.

As I was growing up through elementary and jr. high school I was literally kicked out of the group of friends I hung out with.  It certainly was a painful experience for a young kid. I hung out by myself and the insecurities in my mind grew like weeds.  

When I came to Christ I read about the family of God.  

Hmmm, how do I get connected to this family? 

I wanted to be close to another person.  Someone I could hang out with.  And someone I could have fellowship with.  But I didn't know how to do this.
