~May those who enter as Guests, leave as friends ~
Bestie, BFF, BFFL, Best Friend, it doesn't matter. It's all the same. A friend is someone to trust, to love and grow with. So many people get involved in drama throughout their high school years, and friends are usually the first thing to go. So, if friends are something very important to us, why do they come and go? Well, I can't answer that, but, I can say what I feel about it. I am a person who chooses friends very carefully. I value EACH and EVERY one of my friends. In hard times, they are the ones I count on to help me through. When something new in life comes, and I want to share my joy, friends are the ones to celebrate with. So why treat them like a guest or acquittance? Who knows? I see so many people who have "friends" or in other words, people who they use, maybe for popularity, money, or any other thing! well, my question to them would be "How can you strand it?" I rely on my friends. I trust them. How can you pretend so much? Not only lying to them, but yourself as well? This all puzzles me. So, as usual I turned to the one person who will NEVER lie to you. and that is the Lord. I have had my share of bad friendships... but, I knew I always had at least one. I can feel him with me at school when I would get left out or excluded from a "click" or club. And it hurt. But, it taught me something. I'm never alone. And who better to be friends with, then Jesus Christ? It also taught me to find good friends. If you can't feel Him with you, then that person might not be the best influence on you. Well, Anyways today I want to focus on my gratitude to my awesome friends who are always there for me <3 and I am lucky enough to have a wonderful family who love and support me, and as if that isn't enough I have TONS of amazing church leaders that Inspire me and help me grow <3 and This post is to thank all of them <3

I like the new hair cut. Hypocrisy is something people really like and i have no idea why. If you find good friends who have the same standards (not necessarily the same church) but teach your friends what you believe in and they will learn and respect you. They may not join but they will know and you are guiltless. But hope all goes well! Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to have trouble with this. I found as I went through life, that I had more and more people that I loved and not enough time to devote to that. Especially after my mission, I had lots of people half way across the world that I loved. Friends are a wonderful blessing in life. It took me a while to realize that it's perfectly fine to let go of friends when you move away, situations change, etc. As hard as it is sometimes, it's ok to just have a good friend for a period of time. I consider all of my old friends "friends", but we just aren't as close as we used to be. This is why family is so important. They are the friends that will ALWAYS be there for you, no matter what changes you go through in life. Love you!
