Q: Hard time finding friends at church
Not sure if it's me or them or both? The women at my church are not friendly much more than a simple hello or hi and smile. I am never invited to hang out, get together or do cofee. What am I doing wrong? Most are married and some are or were single moms. I always feel discluded. I'm not some weirdo or something. If I'm someone's friend I am there for them and I feel like they are missing out and so am I. How do I get past the superficial talk and really dive into forming relationships?
I feel like ever since I became a mom it's harder than ever. My children are teens too. So these moms have seen me for mant years, my whole kids lives! Makes me wanna switch churches sometimes. 🙄 I have done small groups, zoom meetings, women's events. Usually my kiddos get invited to the bday party's sometimes and that's about it. Won't stop going to church or believing... I'm just wondering why God has me in this isolation stage.
A: Its way better than befriending someone who turns out to be a false convert or apostate, or moves away. It could be God protecting you from someone who drains your life and energy like a thorn in the flesh. You dont want that at all. I've seen so many horror or bad stories over folk clinging to someone just to have someone, only to lose them or them be really bad choice in the long run. Constant drama etc. Wait on God to bring godly women into your life.... and keep focusing g in growing closer to God, more in the Faith, and ministering to your kids. Once they're grown and graduated, that might be when God opens more doors for you, and thdm, for godly friends.
Here are ideas to help you seek to find friends....
Hope these help
God bless
