Summer Series: Lonely & Chosen

Have you experienced loneliness?  Do you feel like you are chosen in your friendships? We believe you can feel lonely AND be chosen. It’s a part of building a foundational relationship and friendship. Have you been through a season in your life of change and in turn your friendships and relationships change as well?  We have experienced both.  We know that loneliness doesn’t discriminate: extroverts, introverts, influencers, celebrities, and from adults to children. We believe it’s so important to find the people who love you for you, who choose to be with you, and who check in on you during the good and the bad. We have seen God use friendships in all seasons of life from our younger years to college, first jobs to getting married, having kids to experiencing trials or loss, workmates or walking alongside in the same business…all of which hasn’t been easy but has been life giving.  People struggle more now than ever having close friends because they worry about offending them, or we worry about what we saw on social media and tell ourselves a story about our relationships based on something they shared.  Just like any relationship, even marriage…friendship is work.  We must communicate our feelings, and be honest. A friend being honest is an act of kindness, not betrayal. Honesty needs to be held at a higher standard in your friendship.  You get to choose your friends, so choose the ones who are choosing you back. We want to encourage you to experience fullness in friendship…yes, even though we know it takes work on both ends of the friendship.   💙 Book Recommendation: I'll Be There (But I'll Be Wearing Sweatpants)     Join our fast growing community on Facebook and connect with us on Instagram!  Write an apple review and YOUR review could be read on our next episode!  Hosted by Tori Shirah and Tracy Stine Contact us ➡️ [email protected]
