So first off, I just want to give a shout out to everyone who reads this. I went through this morning and was reading my comments and I have like four. I was pretty excited. So thanks to all of you, it means a lot to me! I don't just post this stuff because it makes me feel good. Okay, well it does, but I kind of feel like maybe there is someone else out there who is just like me and needs to read all of this and be like oh my gosh, I'm not the only one!! ANYWAYS. Also, givne the nature of today's post, I thought it would be nice to put up a pic of my bff, who will very soon get her own blog.
So today I am talking about friends. That's right. Friends. We all have them. We all love them. We all hate them. But in the end, everyone has friends. Now I know this is a Christian blog, and I'm not going to curse I promise. But who here has heard the term chicks before dicks? Raise your hands. See that's what I thought. EVERYONE knows that friends come before boys because boys are stupid and you can smell some of them from New Jersey :). Yes I used an emoticon, which reminds me of a rant that I will go on tomorrow. But anyways, why is it that certain guys will just make you forget that you have friends who love you? Or worse, why date guys that are horrible to your friends? I mean if that's how they treat your girlfriends, how much better do you think they will treat you, I mean honestly? I love John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this; that he lay down his life for his friends". The whole passage is about love and how once you give in to the call of love, you are no longer God's servants but His friends. How cool is it to be a friend of God's? At least, that's what I pulled away from it. If you saw something different, let me know, I'd love to hear feedback from those wiser than myself. But anyways, it also says in Proverbs that a man should not play around with other women but wait for his wife, for a wife who is of God is greater than rubies, or some kind of precious stone. So let's put those two together. You wait for a man of God who doesn't pressure into physical activities before marriage, and you are Godly by remaining loyal to your friends. So when you are dating, or fooling around with, someone who is only about sex and is telling you who to be friends with and putting strain on these relationships from God, what happens to your faith?
