Friends

Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."

Friends. First of all I want to say that I love all my friends and am very thankful that you are in my life and have affected me the way you have.  I appreciate each and every one of you and for being there for me when I need to talk things through and just believing in me.  This Bible verse encourages me that friends are here for a purpose and that purpose is to build each other up.  We are to encourage one another to grow and learn more about God and to be a strong encourager to them.  

Here is a quote that I had found.  I'm not sure who said it but I think it is a great summary of what a friend is. 

 "A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are."

 

Verse of the Day thoughts

James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."

God is there for me in any situation that I go through, whether it be good, bad, tough, or easy.  God knows what I'm going through and all I need to do is to ask God to help me and He promises that he will help me through whatever I need help through.  I have to remind myself many times that God is there for me no matter what life throws at me and will be there to help me.   I also need to remember that God will give me an answer but it will be in His timing, not mine.  This is hard to wait so patiently for an answer, but God know what He is doing and what is according to His will for my life, and I need to trust Him for that. 

New Blog

I have always kinda wanted to start a blog so I figured "hey, why not today."  lol :)  So I have decided to start this blog to writing down my thoughts on different subjects and just random thoughts in general.  I also hope to quote Scripture and what it means to me as I read through my Bible.  I hope as people read my blog they find it interesting to read and somewhat inspirational.
