You know, good friends are difficult to come by these days. After we graduate from high school, most of us go our seperate ways, whether it's moving away, going to college, getting married, or whatever other options there are. The people that became my best friends in my childhood are the ones I wish I would've hung out with more in high school. But it's never too late to get to know them more. My best friend in high school and college turned out not to be my best friend after all...sad, I know. Many people along the way have shown me what true friendship really is. It is being there for each other when the times get sucky, doing stuff for each other you normally wouldn't do for anyone else, telling each other the truth all the time, and many more things I can't think of right now. I am pleased to say that I do have friends like that. I hope they can say the same about me. :) Tonight, after talking with a close friend and reading her blogs, I realized how alike we really are. We share a struggle and we both look at this struggle the same way, feelings and all (and have a difficult time accepting it), and try to handle it the same with by putting in the hands of the Lord. What she doesn't know is that, she is what friendship is all about. Everytime I was negative about our common problem she was there with something positive to lift my spirits. She is truly an awesome friend. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and whatever that plan is, I know I'll always have a friend to share a part of it with.
P.S.-"Patience is the key to happiness"
Amen, sista!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I have totally found through the past few years who my TRUE friends are. And while sometimes you have to work harder to keep certain friends around, it's the ones that you don't have to work so hard to keep in contact with that end up being the best friends. I only have a handful of girls that I can call anytime of the day or night and pick right up where we left off. So glad your name is in the handful!
ReplyDeleteVery true.
