Friends

Sorry again for not having posted in a while....I really need to work on that!! Anyway, I think this post is kinda directed to all of my friends that I have known for a little while....like over a year or so. With that in mind, I guess I can continue.

I think it is so important to choose you friends wisely and I have found that true friends will really stick with you even if you screw up. I feel extremely indebted to all my friends that have dealt with me over the past couple months. To be completely honest, I have been a pretty lame friend at times over the past few months. I just need to apologize for that. I think I have been ignoring some friends that have been there for me whenever I needed them and that is really sick! You really can't see how important true friends are until you take them for granted for a little while...I guess that might just be me but I don't know. So yeah.

I cannot stress how awesome and patient my close friends have been over the last couple months. I really believe that, in order to succeed in life, every person needs to have (1) a good relationship with Christ, (2) a good authority figure, and (3) people just need to have good, supportive friends that will encourage them in Jesus. Again, that just might be my opinion but I think it is a reality that we all need to embrace. Our friends, the people we hang out with, are who normally shape our world view and the way we look at life. Since our friends shape a lot of the way we look at life, we need to choose friends that will be true friends...friends that will stick with us even when we screw up....friends that don't care how we look or whether we are intellectuality better than the norm....just good, Jesus loving friends!

So yeah, I apologize to all my friends that I have taken for granted over the past few months. I really messed up but - after all my fallings and all my failings, you show me the one way that Christ would be doing this! I love you all!! Thanks for being your awesome selves! You guys are all amazing!!

Thanks!! :)
