Well, I really should have finished this up a few days ago. But lucky for me, I didn’t tell you how many “parts” I was going to be writing. I really should be in bed as its 2 A.M. but I really want to get this done. I really have no thought out thoughts on this but wanted to write anyway. So here it is.

I am thankful for my friends. I can’t say that I have a lot of them, but the ones I do have I cherish and am very thankful for. I am thankful for a couple more in particular than others but am very grateful for all of them. A few that come to mind, I am thankful that I can go to them and talk about anything. They have been a encouragement to me and challenge not only in my own life, but I trust that I have been in there life.

A couple of days ago I read a blog post about friendship/relationship. It really hit home with me in two ways. First, through some transitions and changes in life I have kinda seen what is real and what wasn’t in relationships. Now I say this not to make people feel guilty (cause I am not sure who all read this). But I say this in sincere conviction in my own life.

I just wanted to set the question out there. Are your relationships really real? Or are they based on some kind of situation. Work, church, location? Or are they true thru and thru?

She asked this question in her post. It made me think, think hard. What is defining my relationships(friendships). Wow, and how much I haven’t lived this out like I should, or even how I could do better in some areas.  I’m really not sure what else to say but Thank You.  I pray that I would be more and more real to those around me.  That I would speak into others lives encourage them and challenge them in there relationship with Christ.  I trust and hope that they would do the same for me.  In this area, how are you thankful?
