Five Minute Friday: Friendship

Two days later I am finally sitting down to write. =)  I have been pretty exhausted the past few days and had a headache which has made me go to bed early. But, I am excited about the topic on friendship. 

I have always had a hard time making friends. I blame myself for it since I am very picky choosy about who I hang out with. I am thankful though for the close friends that the Lord has given me....each of them unique and different in their own way....along with several different types of relationships. Today, i am going to introduce you to three of my closest friends.

Amy: met at BJU, freshmen year. We became instant best friends. She has always been there when I needed a friend to talk to or someone to pray with. She was always a spiritual encouragement in my life. The Lord knew I needed a friend like Amy-she was the type of friend I have prayed for.  (and a side note also tells me the truth when I really need to hear it)

Hannah: fun times, Starbucks, talks, tears, laughter, Jones Soda, Sonic, Barnes and Nobles, and artist series (oh and scary eyes) are a few things that makes me think of Hannah. Hannah and I met when she came to BJU to visit another good friend of mine. We connected instantly and I was able to easily talk to her about things on my heart. When Amy left BJU, Hannah and I became inseparable.

Lori: sorry Lori had to mention you in this! =) Lori and I met when I first came to Florida. She was quiet...I was bubbly and hyper (all the time). Lori became the older sister I never had. She is a true friend and even though I do not want to hear it she tells me the things I need to hear. Lori is fun the hang out with and be with.

Amy, Hannah, and Lori may fail me,  or our friendship can fall apart. I am thankful though to have a very best friend who is always there when I call on Him (Jer 33:3), who is always there when I need Him, who sticks closer than a brother, some one who will always be by side and walk along with me. That BEST FRIEND is my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ--He will never leave me nor forsake me.
