So I have a nasty habit of cocooning myself in myself and not wanting to venture out. I find myself spending days just hanging out in my sweatpants and working on my computer. Last night we had some friends over. It was the first time in a few months that we have had anyone over just to hang out and play games. It was so much fun! They have children about the same age as ours so all of the kids were playing together which gave us parents some much needed adult time.
We spent a few hours eating pizza, cookies, and playing Yhatzee. I really enjoyed having a conversation with someone that did not revolve around pink tutus and imaginary friends. When our friends left my husband and I smiled at each other. We had both truly enjoyed the evening. As I headed to bed I started to think about God's design for us. He did not create us to live our lives in a vacuum. He wants us to interact with other Christians and to experience fellowship with them. A very important part of our Christian walk is to establish relationships with other Christians and to allow them to hold us accountable to our own walk with God.
As our friends left the house last night we decided that we would spend more evenings together. I am excited to spend more time with people who will help me to break out of my comfort zone and develop truly Christ centered friendships.
