There is such a stereotype when it comes to women’s friendships. Sitting around drinking afternoon tea, talking about your children. Or sipping a martini, gossiping about the “loose” girl at work. Or going to the mommy’s groups where women’s go to the mall or a park and watch their kids while they chat about their husbands work or their tiring day of chores that wait for them at home.
My question is…what does it mean to have true women’s friendship?
This question has been on my heart for sometime as I struggle to not only be a good friend, but to find the type of friendships that are referenced in the Bible. I will write about this journey along the way as I explore it for myself. I plan on reading a couple of books (the Bible of course, and a book by Dee Brestin called The Friendships of Women). I heard about the second book from Rachel Anne at Home Sanctuary. Any other readings or thoughts are greatly appreciated as I explore this deep and meaningful area.
Even though this posting is geared toward women, I can guarantee that there are men who feel the same way. They need to connect with other men who share their beliefs, who can hold them accountable, and can provide support during difficult times.

Kris this is such a great topic! That book sounds awesome! Some of my best friends are people I might not have chosen out of a crowd. Funny, isn’t it? Reminds me of marriage – you CHOOSE to continue the friendship on.And speaking of friendships, we need to have you guys over! What does your schedule look like in the next few weeks? Miss you, and I need to see that BIG BOY!Love,Katherine
