You two are such friendly wonderful people though, that while it's hard right now I have no doubt it'll take long. My suggestion though: PICK a church (don't church-shop, just pick one) and JUMP into a small group / Bible study with as much ambition as you can... even if you're not sure about it all. And don't be afraid to tell people "we're new here, we're always free on friday nights".<BR/><BR/>(I'm writing a novel too Felicia)<BR/><BR/>I say all that because it's exactly what a couple in my small group here did, we met them around the third week they were here and they point-blank told us that they just wanted to find friends right away.. so they took the initiative even though they didn't know a soul and didn't know if they'd get along with us. (don't be afraid to suggest going out for dinner with someone - if they don't want to they'll say no, no harm done.)yellowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426753323616139983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9167223.post-41759616453312362952007-06-29T04:40:00.000+10:002007-06-29T04:40:00.000+10:00I know how you feel. I don't remember having much ...I know how you feel. I don't remember having much trouble finding friends as a kid and in college and in Idaho Falls, but outside of a few people we occasionally get together with from work, I don't have any close friends here. It's hard to meet people with the hours we work and I haven't really made close friends with any of the women I know from work. It's kind of frustrating sometimes. The good thing is you're there together and there are no limits on your possibilities!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9167223.post-33973392120410120562007-06-29T04:02:00.000+10:002007-06-29T04:02:00.000+10:00I almost cried reading your post.

And not out of pity, I know you would hate me for that, but because I want to invite you guys over for a dinner feast and you are too far away...:( I never thought of it that way, but maybe that's why I like to feed people so much: I want to show I am interested in them and I care. I am sure God will teach many people through you how to take care of the newcomers and how to offer a hand. Just wait until you are in the position to do it. Meantime, I DO pray that God will send some angels to invite you for a homecooked meal and fellowship in their home. It is important to have that, I don't think you are unrealistic expecting that from members of a church, followers of Christ. OK.. I think this is the longest comment I posted on your blog. Maybe I should write an email!?:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
