I...I am a new follower and my heart breaks for you. I have been through friends and family making themselves distant through my husband’s deployment last year to Afghanistan. I was heartbroken that the people that said they would help me through that time didn't show up. We lost many friends through that time but I believe we are better for it. I pray that the people that are distancing themselves from you and your lovely family find clarity in their choices and realize that now is the time you need them the most. I found my greatest strength in our little boy. He was a blessing in disguise for me. Blessing to you and your family and you are in my prayers.Nikkinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-59784120863427291092012-04-02T15:34:56.850-07:002012-04-02T15:34:56.850-07:00i'm sure this hurts. i just want to hug you &...i'm sure this hurts. i just want to hug you & beg you to go thrifting with me. since, i don't have alot of friends with common interest around here. i pray this upon you & your family - Romans 8:28. i just wish sometimes we could see the beautiful tapestry He is weaving from the top, instead of the tangled knotted underside.<br />love you beautiful lady. <br />PS ~ your hair is getting really long also. :)Rebecca https://www.blogger.com/profile/08745450698944518531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-10028713552898850022012-03-23T19:16:50.561-07:002012-03-23T19:16:50.561-07:00That's really tough.

It's not your fault you are sick. I think you've approached this with the right attitude. I just saw this quote "Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you." For some reason this really helped me with some of my own issues. The right people will love you and include you. You are entering a new season of life and I pray that you will find people to surround you and encourage you. I'm still very sorry that it hurts. We're still human with feelings and emotions.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554921225557586137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-76785057986697176282012-03-23T15:45:26.829-07:002012-03-23T15:45:26.829-07:00I think as we go through different phases in our l...I think as we go through different phases in our lives, our relationships change. It is normal for people to seek out those who they have the most in common with. Fortunately, this new journey has brought new friends into your lives as well. Maybe some of your friends don't know how to relate right now. If they are very important to you, perhaps you could reach out and share your feelings with them. If they are not as important, then just see what happens. In time, they may find their way back. If not, there will be new people in your life to focus on.

I love you girl and love your heart. I too understand the changing seasons...weve experienced a lot of this too...for lots of reasons...because of money problems, because of loss we were dealing with, because of sickness, and now because we have little ones. it sucks to feel that seclusion, but i also have to believe that the Lord has BETTER for us...and HE really has brought us even better more fulfilling relationships now, which I wouldnt trade for anything. love you girl, Im here for you!!!sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292981329816076944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-91566859751419069352012-03-21T15:55:56.039-07:002012-03-21T15:55:56.039-07:00Saying “HI” from the Blog Hop!

You never know why people are not including you and how they are feeling because sometimes people just don't talk about it. I recently reached a place like that with a friend and I just had to learn to let go, as hard it was. Thanks for sharing what is on your heart.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650224055229257819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-25596275345748002732012-03-19T16:53:40.627-07:002012-03-19T16:53:40.627-07:00I am so glad to know I am not the only person wHo ...I am so glad to know I am not the only person wHo has felt this way.Brittany LeSueurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820263630202771346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-54373423873997903582012-03-19T15:38:16.669-07:002012-03-19T15:38:16.669-07:00Oh Karen, this saddened me when I read it.

It really does. You know who is the worst one for me on the not adapting front? And this will sound weird... but it's my mom. Can you believe that? I think it's because she doesn't want to accept that something bad happened to me and that I can't have a "normal" life now.<br /><br />I'm grateful, like you are, for the friends and family who do want to change and adapt with me and for the ones who don't? I tolerate it if they are family and if they are friends.... well, they aren't my friends anymore. <br /><br />And it does hurt. I know how you feel.Hollihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413841693536976580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710699522974963778.post-37005653243918280112012-03-19T11:10:28.631-07:002012-03-19T11:10:28.631-07:00I think of you always.

I'm one of those single friends that had all her best friends have babies right in a row... they stopped inviting me to things because life is different now. My heart aches that you aren't included in things.. a simple, "Hey, would you like to.." would suffice I think. Just an invite would make you feel better... even if you didn't feel up to going. Praying for you always pretty lady. <br /><br />ps. you were following me when I was Gorgeous in Wonderland...
