Partly because of the insight into good friendships, partly because you have introduced us to some of your closest friends (inspires me to reflect about my own friendships and what I can do to strengthen them) and partly because you have introduced me to a bunch of new to me blogs written by strong christian women. I love reading blogs but have been thinking recently that I need to focus more on reading blogs that encourage me in my faith!!<br />thanks so much.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04806275110333601842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-25256413698594619462010-11-14T23:40:56.125-06:002010-11-14T23:40:56.125-06:00I was going to ask for this book for Christmas but...I was going to ask for this book for Christmas but if I win it then I can ask for boots :) <br />Jen G.<br />gjzmgrant@comcast.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-46743255651169630022010-11-14T21:14:17.269-06:002010-11-14T21:14:17.269-06:00Sounds like a great book!

Due to my husband's military career, building and maintaining friendships can be challenging - but they're so necessary to making it through the many ups and downs of our lifestyle. Bonus: What I appreciate most about my (military wife) friends is that there's an unspoken bond that can be picked up whenever and wherever (even if you haven't been face-to-face in years), and you don't feel so bad asking for help - because you know you'll get a chance to return the favor somehow.{ J }https://www.blogger.com/profile/01686504251791442880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-41226512252658438642010-11-13T21:12:47.496-06:002010-11-13T21:12:47.496-06:00Wow, I feel God has brought me here to learn about...Wow, I feel God has brought me here to learn about this book.

My friends from college are some of the greatest people I've ever met, but since I've moved things have changed. I've been praying for authentic friends who will just love me for me and will encourage me and laugh and cry with me. In the meantime, God has really been teaching me that He is my very best friend and I'm so thankful for that!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954794455882585249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-70411981164345879802010-11-13T18:19:06.954-06:002010-11-13T18:19:06.954-06:00I appreciate that even though my best friend and I...I appreciate that even though my best friend and I live 1600 miles apart, whenever we see each other it's like we didn't miss a day!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498327930089117884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-41097540746810752782010-11-13T14:53:38.035-06:002010-11-13T14:53:38.035-06:00I feel like lately I have weeded through friendshi...I feel like lately I have weeded through friendships that didn't mean much to me, and I am trying to concentrate on positive friendships - one's that God would approve of.
