We live in a society that is filled with online connections. From Instagram to Snapchat, to Twitter,  to Facebook, to our cell phones, we have the ability to connect on a 24/7 basis.

Despite all of our online connections, many of us feel alone, unloved, and friendless. 

So what can we do? How can we build good and lasting friendships with other girls? How can we connect with others in a real and personal way?

Here are three practical actions steps that you can take to begin building good and godly friendships:

1. Take ownership.

2. Take the first step.

3. Focus on others.

In all of this, remember that friendships take time. They take effort and intentionality. Be patient. Be Prayerful. And be willing to put in the long-term effort that friendships take.
