Friends

I have been really noticing lately that I have a bunch of friends. They all are unique and have their own way of being my friend, but each one means so much to me. God has truly blessed me with them all. I love my friends.

I learned in communications class that you can only have a deep meaningful relationship with about 4-6 people. Which I have noticed that to be true. As much as I have a bunch of friends, I can say that I have about that average of true, close friendships. And honestly 2 of them I can see alway and forever being in that position. Because they are the top two relationships that I have that mean the most significant to me. Plus the fact that they are friend makes it even better :)

Now on to the topic of what happens when one of those close relationships seems to diminish. Two years of being super close, and one "rough patch", seemed to mess the rest of the way up, and seems to be slowly going away. Things just seem fuzzy, and just confusing. I understand we are both at points in our lives where things are changing, we are growing up to shape who we are for the future. But really...

And what about the whole one person who you have tried so hard to keep up with, be their friend through thick and thin. Through the lies, tear, hurt, and anger. The person who crosses a line that can't be undone. The person you just cannot seem to be able to help, because satan has got them so tight, that nothing in my human power can help. Is it the right thing to just be done with the person? Is it right to not want to put in any more effort? Especially after putting in over 5 years of effort? Is it wrong to just move one. Is it wrong to feel nothing for this person anymore, feel so cold and callous to the person, because you just cannot take it anymore?

as for the 5 year friend~it is ok to walk away, as long as you have been praying for her while you've been "working" with her. You have been there and she has continued on her path. You have put your effort in and maybe it is time to simply pray that God work on her heart and when it is time for you to be there, make it known that you are.

as long as that is not me :) Then I would be sad to lose you as a friend!
