Making Friends AS A NEW MOM By Christine Cram
Can you make new friends as a mom? Yes. The answer is yes. In fact, I have. Shocking since this time in my life as a mom is insanely busy and chaotic at times. The Lord has blessed me with some amazing women in my life, some new friends, and some I have had for awhile. That’s the neat thing about being a mom. This season of life that I am living, I need other women. I need friends like never before. Having other moms come along side me and help me and encourage me, and just walk through life with me has been such a breath of fresh air. They understand where I am at and still want to invest in me as well as love on my child. We need each other. There is no weakness in needing others. Friendship, no matter where you are in life, is SO important. It’s been such an awesome blessing to get to know the women God has placed in my life at just the right time. And He has been so creative with how He has brought people in my life. He never ceases to amaze me. Just being open to new friendships has been an awesome thing. You never know who He will place in your life and when. That is so exciting, and also a little nerve racking. I’m a hot mess. I still get nervous meeting a new friend. I always go back to being in middle school, doubting myself; will they like me for me? It seems to be that we all can relate to each other in some form and that is so comforting. Knowing I’m not alone is such a blessing. My friends are so special to me. I literally do not know how I would cope without them. If you are in a place where you are praying for a special friend to come in your life, or to come back in your life, just give that to the Lord. He hears you and knows you, and gives you amazing gifts, in His time. He created community, so that is a pretty important thing to Him I believe. Keep your eyes open with how He will bless you. When He does, you will know it’s from Him. How cool is that? Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another”. Proverbs 27:17 “
