This week I'm in Kentucky at the National Missionary Convention. The speaker tonight really spoke to me. He talked about how we have opportunities to serve right now and how we need use those opportunities rather than wait until they've passed. This really hit home for me because I have watched opportunity after opportunity after opportunity get away from people...including myself. Lately I've been feeling distant from God. I think this weekend is going to start a change in my life. I'm praying that it will.
Speaking of praying....I've been praying a lot lately for friends. Not for my friends, but that I will get friends. I have "friends" but I want a "best" girl friend. I have Matthew and I love him. He will always be my best friend but I think I need a girl in my life that I can tell anything to and trust to hold me accountable. I've been feeling so lonely lately. I love the people in Columbus but it's so hard to have friends from school and work because I live so far away. All I can do is pray.....I sure hope it gets easier soon..
I will definitely be praying for you...and I'm not just saying that. I definitely understand the need for friends. I started this year with four friends if you only count the ones I see ocasionally in real life (as in like I <3 you Emily, but chances are I will probably not see you again until this summer most likely). One of them is twice my age, one is 9yrs older than me, and two are a year younger than me...for me though I am kind of wary of getting too close to anyone new though because I know that after this year I will be leaving anyway...
