Hey Marcie,
I think we have ALL been there – alone, awkward, uncomfortable! It’s the worst feeling, isn’t it!
Amazingly, I read a book by a very popular author and speaker recently. She shared about this same thing happening to her.
Sadly, I think it’s part of life.
The good news – we can be the ones to reach out and be kind!
Praying God will bless you with much sweet fellowship this week.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
Melanie

I didn’t see anyone I knew & I did get up & leave. I never went to another class reunion & have been out of high school 47 years now. That’s pretty sad. I really appreciated your article, thanks for sharing!

Amen, Tona!
Keep reaching out! Don’t give up.
I believe there are some precious sisters out there who would love to be your friend.
I will pray that God bless your friendships and fill your life with women who will encourage you, support you, pray with you, and sweetly build you up!
Blessings,
Melanie

I have reached out to individuals and at times it has worked and other times it doesn’t. I think the key is to keep reaching out anyway.

Hey Alisa,
It’s so good to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by today and leaving a kind word!
You are too precious and have way too much to offer to hide in your room! I double dog dare you to take the plunge! Honestly, you have so much more to gain than to lose!
I would love it if you would do this 30 Day Friendship Challenge with us and let us know if it helps!
Now, I know how to pray for you!!
Blessings,
Melanie

Just coming back from the She Speaks conference, I was put in this same position that you mentioned here. Except I didn’t take the plunge and step out. I hid in my room!!! I know God has been calling me to step out more in this area. Thank you for your encouraging words.

Thank you, Ginger! I’m so glad you stopped by today.
And, we do have to step out there and take those risks, don’t we!
Love it when the Lord sends friends and takes them deeper as well.
I’m sure grateful for you and for your friendship~
