And those people?
Um, ya. They Are REAL.
They are living and breathing and doing everything they can to figure out what their life is all about.
And when I need a friend who gets me, what I’m going through…I have an incredible community.
In real life and online.
And I’d be lost without each and every one of them.
We feel less alone.
We are loved more.
Accepted often.
And we have a family and a support circle bigger than we could have ever dreamed.
{pictures to come of us one day, when we finally meet!}
We can make each other laugh on days there is NO WAY we believed a smile was possible.
Possibly because when we talk, we’re back to being 12.
And Morgan….oh how I love Morgan. We have similar hearts and desires and when we met on the dance floor at BlogHer 11, I knew she was meant for me.
In a non stalker way, of course.
I can’t wait for the day we get to hang out again and get our groove on once again.
(and I get to meet her at the end of this month! watch out thrift stores!!!)
{we will meet, ONE DAY. And then I will show those pictures too!!!}
And most recently, Adneris Diaz, who shared her testimony with me after I had shared mine on the blog, and we bonded.
And I know that at any moment for any reason from this point on, we can connect for prayer and support.
And these amazing women?
Are only the beginning.
There are so many more, more of YOU, that have touched me and my life.
My true and dear and treasured IN REAL LIFE friends.
We may have connected online, but they are forever a part of my heart and my story.
And I thank God every day for His hugs through them.
These chickas are just as dear to me and just as much a part of my life as anyone I know IRL.
Because we have lived life together, connecting through nothing but truth and honesty and complete vulnerability.
awww. i love this! i trust my online friends more than my in persond friends… only because of certain circumstances i told you about!! have a great day love!
It is beyond amazing to see His plan unfold. You are such a blessing!!
I couldn’t agree more! I feel like starting my blog when we moved to a new state was God’s perfect timing because I instantly had online friends and I didn’t feel so alone. Honestly, I’m closer to my blogger friends than my IRL friends…and I feel so blessed to have them! 🙂
