Solidifying friendships at 3am

I think friendship can be both born and destroyed at a slumber party. Right? Do you agree? Depends which side of the coin you were on. Were you invited - were you not? Where you included? Were you belittled? Did you matter? I've been on both sides - perhaps you were too.

But then we're forced to grow up and move past those sleep deprived nights...and into more sleep deprived nights of another kind. Perhaps there are children...careers...stress...life. We grow...we change...we look back and wish we could do it all over again - but no part of us would actually want to endure it.

We survived - this thing called childhood...adolescence. Let that be enough.

But friendships should not only be founded in the past - but evolved into something that continues to give us hope for the future. I've been blessed with some friends who have allowed me to do just that. Change. Forgive. Repair some of what was destroyed. And re-visit the days when friendships were born...and solidified over pepperoni pizza at 3am.

Maybe that's what this is...one big slumber party. Where conversations can be honest...questions real...faith tested...and friendships grown.

So snuggle up - you are invited - please join the conversation.
