fickle and strong friendships......

Sorry I have not written for a while.....
Recently I have been and have been for a while thinking about friendships.  It is an interesting topic.  Friendships exist on many different levels: best friends, good friends, casual friends, acquaintances, etc.  I have struggled in this area.  Sometimes you want to be better friends with certain people and maybe, honestly, not want to be around other people. (I in no way recommend that you avoid anybody, but we as humans do.  We should, however, love and care for everybody, no matter what.)  Such things as friendships are sometimes complex and difficult things.  I do not really understand them fully at all and never will.  We wonder why people react to us in certain ways.  It's so hard because we do not always know if people like us or not. (That's just my  view though.  It's not the best view though because my friends are great and I hold people's friendships sometime by how much they interact with me at a time.) 

Ok, so all this may be jumbled up to you.  I just wanted to write about friendships.  Let me finish up with this.  Friendships can be hard.  They can be downright annoying and hard to understand.  However, worrying about them usually only makes things worse.  Not always, but a lot of the time.  So, be careful not to read too much into things because they probably are not what you think.  Finally and most importantly(this really is the most important part), having a good relationship with God first is important and absolutely key if you want any of your horizontal relationships to work out.  This does not mean that if you have a good relationship with God all your friendships will be peachy-keen, but your relationships will be better and they will work out way better than if you do not have a good relationship with God.  But I better stop.  I do not want to talk for God and do not want to incorrectly portray how friendships work and should work.

Alright, well....in a short summary about life:
-I have officially started soccer and try-outs are officially done.
-My online classes have been suffering due to lack of time spent on them:).  I have improved in my English IV class, but PreCalc still needs some work.
-Work is going fine.  It's a great job.  Things are going to get crazy once I start soccer practices at Airport Lakes Park that is out by the Orlando Int'l Airport.
-I would definitely appreciate prayer that I spend enough time on all my classes and stop procrastinating.  Also, that I would seek God in all areas of my life and submit humbly to His control.  I would really, really appreciate prayer in these areas.

I hope these thoughts have maybe been helpful, if not at least you are getting a glimpse into my mind....though that may not be a good thing:) Hahahahah....I hope that does not scare you!

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Verse for now: I John 4:7...check it out!
