Great post, and thanks for the book recommend. I've always been one to have one or two really best buds, and was hurt badly by one of them. Thankfully, we're great friends again (after years of having lost touch). I really love this blog!

I talked some about this on my blog yesterday. There's something about being part of a fellowship that gives you strength and hope. We definately need each other.

For years I had a hard time letting people in the "inner core." I had many, many friends at arms length, but it was hard letting someone in deeper. Yet, as I've done this, THOSE are the people who help me most. They pray and speak to my heart in ways no one else can. I trust them, and I know that they can hurt me if they choose, but a least I've allowed God to open my up heart and my life. I can totally identify.

I always taught my kids that "waiting on the Lord" does not mean you stand still. Thanks! It sounds like a great Bible Study with an awesome message.
