Friends - Part Two

I don't know how I survived without talking to people before...how did I hide all those emotions inside of me without blowing up? It has become so much easier for me to talk and express my feelings - not to everyone, of course, but to certain people. There's still a long ways for me to go in this area, but with God's help, I am growing and changing.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about one of my good friends, J. Tonight, I have another friend on my heart, one that I've been close with since the beginning of high school - we will refer to him as G. I've written about him on here before, in this post and this one.

We met on the first day of Grade 9 in Religion Class. I was too shy to say hello to anybody, but he quickly introduced himself. The rest, they say, is history! From the beginning, he was always there for me, through the good times and the bad...and although we sometimes drifted apart during the school year, we would always hang out in the summer. It's going to be hard saying goodbye to him when September comes - who am I going to text when something's on my mind? Who will I call when I desperately need someone to hang out with?

Well, September is still far away, so I may as well enjoy my time while I can! I thank God for our friendship, for how He has blessed me with someone I can be open with and who accepts + understands me. If you're reading this, G, I hope you know how much our friendship means to me (despite all our "nagging" and "arguing" in English...really, what does Mrs. A know?).

Thank You, Lord, for teaching me to trust. Remind me that you are my perfect friend, and the One who will never fail me. I am so blessed by all the friendships you have placed in my life. I ask that you help me shine Your light to them, and point them to You.
