Friendship
I was just sitting here thinking about how none of my friendships from my childhood have been sustained and carried over to my adulthood. This is mainly due the fact that my father was in the military, and we moved around quite a bit. I didn't realize then, how important and significant relationships would be to me in my late 20's. I knew I missed those who I connected with and left behind, but I didn't know better to make an effort to stay connected with them. I have gently labored in my exploits to reconnect with old friends, but I have been relentless in my conquest to nurture the relationships that I have presently. My dynamic personality is magnetic, so I do draw many, but I don't indulge in empty and purposeless interactions with people. So ironically, the gift of friendships have been given to me in small portions. I COR 11:13 says "When I was a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a MAN, I put away childish things". As a child my thoughts might have been juvenile, but as an adult I have attained enough wisdom and understanding to know that you should make every effort to maintain GOOD investments as long as you can. Especially when it comes to relationships. If you seek my friendship... this is where it is. Not everyone can reach it....but to those who can, I am looking forward to the journey with you. Peace and blessings
