Friends again YO!

(Just to note, this might get pretty long, but you'll see at the end of this blog why.)

Yup, that's right, I'm going to talk about friends, sort of. Okay, last night, I went to church for thanksgiving, it was, well I don't know exactly what it was, but it was pretty much to celebrate thanksgiving. It was super sick (by the way, Zeena for Prom Queen!) and what I thought was super duper awesome was that people go to share what they were thankful for. It was very moving and so powerful. Every one that got to go up shared what they were thankful for and in one way or another, it all was because of God. Thank you Jesus! Totally awesome. Just to hear how many people were moved by God and how He is working in their lives. Also, each one shared a little bit of their testimony as well, just small kine, but either way it was awesome! I didn't get to go up, I wanted to though. By the time I got up to stand in line, they pretty much said that they were just going to do two more so that was a bit of a bummer, but I soon forgot about it because everyone else was awesome!

So if you hadn't got the hint, I want to share with what I am thankful for, and that is, if you hadn't got this hint either, my friends.

Proverbs 11:14 "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."

This verse, this proverb, means a lot to me, and reminds me of my friends. I wanted to share this verse with everyone but i didn't get the chance. It's all good though. Anyways, like i've said before, if God hadn't provided me with these group of friends I'm with now, I most likely would not be typing this blog right now. Instead, I would probably be with my old friends, getting drunk, or smoking weed, or doing both. Either way, I would be doing something pretty bad. So I am so thankful for my friends, and so thankful for God just giving me this new life. Thank you God! Okay, so my old friends weren't bad. I mean I still love them, but I just don't hang out with them anymore. I know, I know, I could still hang out with them and turn them to christ, but it's just that I'm afraid to do it. If it was some stranger I would have a better chance at trying that with him than my old friends. I don't know why, it's just hard for me. Anyways, we'll maybe cover that some other time, but, they arn't bad. They're cool people, just they do some pretty stupid things sometimes, and I follow.

My parent's are divorced, and I was young. I always told myself that they would never get divorced, and that we would stay together as one big happy family, but in the end they did. I was totally crushed, and ever since (God revealed this to me about a month or two ago) that I have abandonment issues or something like that, and I think a lot of people whos parents are divorced have that problem but i dont know for sure. Anyways, I had that problem, and I didn't want to lose my friends so I pretty much did stuff like smoke weed and yeah. I would just like to say that I am healed of that problem thanks to a man named Jesus Christ! So yeah, but when I decided that one night, it was May 15, 2008, to give my life to christ, it was tough at first. My friends weren't really that supportive of my decision, in fact they pretty much teased me. So did my parents, they teased me too, so it was totally rough. I pretty much would have just dropped it all and turn away from God, but my friends, my totally wonderful friends prevented that from happening, whether they know it or not. If it wasn't for the support, the encouragment, and the love that they gave me, I would have been lost in the world. Thank you Jesus! Now it's cool though, my old friends now accept that fact and are cool with it, and so are my parents. We go as a family to church now on sundays, almost every week, and that's totally better from never going to church.

It's just like how i said in one of the previous blogs, when we first become christians, God provides for us what we really need just like what a father would do for his newborn baby. What i really needed at the time was friends. Friends that would love me, care for me, be there for me. Friends that would encourage me in God, to push me foward, to give me good advice, everything I needed to be where I am now. And I know for a fact that God was, and is still behind all of this, and I am so grateful and thankful! Our God is a good God, and His LOVE endures FOREVER!

Proverbs 11:14 "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." There is safety in the multitude of counselors. There is love in the multitude of friends. There is love in just one friend. There is love in God. And I am one of those living proofs that it is all true.
