Dating

Today was a nice Sunday.  I have had a HARD time going to a new church.  I really loved my church home in the North.  People were friendly and I enjoyed my Pastor and his messages.  I felt like I had family at my church and truly enjoyed it.  During the move I felt like I was Superwoman.  God was opening doors for me and I was moving quickly (once I received and accepted my job offer) but I felt like I was doing things alone.  It took me 3 days to drive across country to get home and then another 8 1/2 hours to get to Texas.  I was tired of making every decision and doing it all by myself.  God was with me but no one physically.  I have been buying furniture and building furniture and getting things delivered and so much more.  I got tired of doing things and just couldn't go to church by myself.  Moving also meant leaving the few friends that I did make and starting from scratch.  This summer I read "MWF seeking BFF" by Rachel Bertsche.  In case you don't know MWF stands for Married White Female seeking Best friend Forever.  The book was humor laced with statistics about a married white female "Dating" women to find friends.  You know, friends who will be spontaneous and get drinks with you, or friends who will do dinner and wine or friends who are married and you can go out with your spouses.  I enjoyed the book and am taking some of those tips on Dating friends here.  Thus far I have made two friends.  I am glad that I am an extroverted person because that always makes it easier.  So today I was invited to church by my new friend.  It felt so good to go to church and not have to be alone.  I really enjoyed the service, everyone was friendly and there was a good message.  We went out to lunch after service with 2 other single ladies from church and it was so nice!  

I am sure that I will be dating more friends soon.  Let's hope for a date with a man too.
