Take it to heart

A lot of people have a verse that they like or call their favorite. For me, that favorite verse is one that to me defines everyones life. My best friend spoke on the passage of Jeremiah 29:11-13 at our Baccalaurate in June of 2009 when we graduated high school. Ever since that day, that verse has been my favorite. The verse says "for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Every person in this world wonders what will happen to them in the future. Like all girls always wonder who that special guy is that they will marry. Even I wonder, although I do hope its a certain person..lol But putting that aside. God has layed out a plan for everyone. It may not always go how we want, or be what we want. I've also learned that God allows things to happen or allows us to do things that we may not understand until later in life. For me that has seemed to happen alot, but in the end, I learn lessons that are very amazing. Lessons that I will never forget and lessons that show me who my real friends are and that no matter what happens God is in control and has a plan for my life, as well as yours!!

The Definition of Friendship

If someone were to as me what I thought the definition of friendship was, I would very easily share a person who you can go to about anything, you can tell your secrets to and not have to worry about them telling anyone, someone who you can spend time with, and a person who does not judge you for anything. However, you will meet some people in your lifetime who have a different definition. It's those people who really need to get a life and realize that friends are valuable than they give them credit for. For me, I was very blessed and in 7th grade I met a amazing person named Tyler and then in 8th grage met another amazing person named John. While I have made some serious mistakes in my life that should have made an impact on our friendship, the 3 of us have been best friends. Even know, it has been very difficult for me, since my family moved from my hometown Carlisle. Making new friends has not been easy for me here and not exactly easy. I was very blessed to make some great new friends at college, people like my RA Lauren, Joanna a extremly sweet girl in my prayer group, and another very sweet girl named Caitlin. Making friends in college was not that hard to do. But the real struggle came, when I came from school. It is very hard to make friends in a new town when you hardly know anyone. Although I am thankfully making some new friends at church. So anyway, I guess what this whole thing was about is just me venting on how stupid some people are and how they take for granted that they actually have friends that care about them, but they treat them like dirt and dont care until something they need something or want something then they use that friend. So yea thats pretty much all I gotta say bout that..
