Where do you connect?

This is a thought that has been lingering for quite awhile. I believe that we all have the longing desire to connect with people. (I don't mean the needy kind of connecting, but the kind that is a blessing.) Maybe this has been in the front of my mind because we have recently moved...again. I grew up in a family that required frequent moves. When someones asks me where I am from, I never know what to say. Do I say the foreign country that I was born in? The state we lived when I was in early grade school or the one for jr. high or high school? Or where Chuck and I have lived most of our married life? Now that I have kiddos of my own, I desire for some roots for our family. Not just for the kids but for me too.

I know that I am not alone in my desires. I long to connect. With friends who share some of my values. With people that make me laugh and think I am funny. We have found most of our connections in our church friends in the past. I have also found friendships in our neighborhood, or co-workers, family, childhood fiends, people we have ministered with, other homeschool group, friends of the girls...the list goes on. But for me my newest connection has been through the blog. I have been able to connect with others and share experiences, struggles, prayer requests, trials and joys. I love that I can relate to people all over the country and travel the road with them.

So my questions is for you...where do you connect?
