Friends

Recently I have been thinking about my friendships all the time. As i look back at my past I remember people that i used to be really good friends with. And now i look at where I am now. What happened to all thos friends? Sure, I deffinately hated to loose my relationship with those people but with some of them I know that they could have possibly held me back from getting to the point where I am today. And I know that God brings certain people into my life to test, try, and strengthen me. And it is His decision to keep them there and to take them away.
I also look at how the people that i grow closer to has changed. The people that I develop close relationships today will affect my future. So I must carefully associate myself with the right group of friends.
God wants me to have friends that will encourage me to always seek Him first in every situation. He removes and replaces the people in my life for specific reasons and I have to realize that.
Recently, as well, I have found myself making sure that I am not getting into too close of a relationship with guys. As a 14 year-old the last thing I need to have on my mind is a relationship. I dont need to be in a relationship with somebody when i know that nothing can come of it this early on. I always have to remind myself that if it's God's will He will work it out.
Through all of this I try to think of the bigger picture. I can't see what's around every turn in my life, but God can. Not one single sparrow falls to the ground without Him noticing. So no matter how trying and difficult my relationships may become I just remember that God has a bigger plan for me than i could ever imagine. And that is exactly the same for you.

God Bless! :)
