This post did bring up a marriage question for me, though! What is the best way you found, before you had kids, to balance friendships and marriage? I'm sure it's even harder with kids, but we're not to that stage of life yet! Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks for what you're doing I love your blog.<br />CarlyCarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114981181328646603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-74168751541247094772009-03-21T10:22:00.000-04:002009-03-21T10:22:00.000-04:00wonderful post!

I feel so incredibly blessed to have so many great friends and I pray I am a great friend as well. 1Peter 4:8 is one of my favorites as well.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562007294784747473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-14747539422012681952009-03-19T14:48:00.000-04:002009-03-19T14:48:00.000-04:00Wow Gina thanks for sharing your story!

I'm encouraged and you make complete sense!!! :-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, Kimi great verse - I Peter 4:8 says to "love each other deeply, for love covers over a multitude of sins." How forgiving of a friend we are, measures how deep our love is. <BR/><BR/>And I agree maintaining close friendships are harder once you are married and with children - but so vital - we need each other! Without them I am just one little strand of spaghetti!!! I LOVE my friends - you all make me so much stronger!Courtney (Women Living Well)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09656103671995728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-56408099856777832842009-03-19T13:36:00.000-04:002009-03-19T13:36:00.000-04:00I looove that!Thanks so much!

I'm sure this will hit home with all of us in some way.I love having friends but its a lot of work especially now with being married and kids. I love the verse that says that love covers over a multitude of sins b/c that always helps me when I've been hurt or felt left out. I just pray that I'm a good friend and not the one that someone is thinking of and hurt by.kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535027018761258247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-73298067650857906102009-03-19T13:26:00.000-04:002009-03-19T13:26:00.000-04:00Hey Courtney....thanks for the blog.

I was struggling w/some things w/a best friend and it kept me from my time w/God. I realized in Mark 4:18-19, I had a "thorn" in my life & it kept me from "hearing" his word. I tried to read but could not hear. My thoughts were consuming me. I finally poured out my thoughts to her & also a called another friend and she prayed w/me on the phone. I then felt like I could go to prayer time. I had felt like Satan was attacking my time w/God. I had to deal w/things before I could continue my time w/God. Does that make sense? Anyways, thanks for your blog. They really help me a lot.Regina Coblentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054742665926592882noreply@blogger.com
