friendship is a hard thing... lately I've been thinking a lot.. about people especially those back home. A year...seemed to have passed so quickly and yet at the same time...it was quite a long time. I was talking to someone today..and it really reminded me of how far I feel from those back home. So many things have happened...and so many people have grown... made me wonder how much I know people now...
there was a couple of friendships...that i wanted so much to hang on to...but...it seemed hopeless... but...God showed me in my devotions that
"love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"1Corinthians 13:4-7
I was reminded that I do not love these people because I expect them to love me back (cuz...that would be self seeking...) I do not care about them...for anything in return. I care for them, love them...because I want to and God has put it in me to. Another thing it reminded me when I read this verse in my devos today is that Love perserveres. I 'm not going to give up because love doesn't give up when things gets tough...but keeps on trusting in God to pull through. :) so...yeah... Thank you God for that message today.\ :)
Today...was an interesting day...hehe...anita and I went to pick up groceries...but it was sooo weird...we made a list..but we kept forgetting what we were looking for and getting sidetracked and stuff :) it was really funny...cuz yeah...we kept forgetting the same stuff over and over..O_o but it was a lot of fun. I don't think I've ever enjoyed grocery shopping b4...but it was interesting today :)
Also...its been great just getting to know TIff a bit...I've known her for awhile now but I don't think I've ever really talked to her....or gotten to know her...but...she's only been here like 5-6 days..and i've felt quite comfortable talking to her about lots of things...this is weird for me as I don't usually warm up to people that easily... so..GOd's really been helping me out there :)
I got a chance to talk to Jo and Wallace and Jasy (briefly...) online today :) haven't been able to do that in awhile :) Thanks guys ^_^ made me feel really happy :)
