So, it's been a while...
I want to fix the world. All the poor relationships, job losses, heartache, grief, school frustrations, and what-have-you that my friends go through (and myself, for that matter)...I want to wave a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo wand and make it all go away! But I can't.
I'm also learning that it isn't my job, either. I can be there for my friends...show them the love and support that they show me in my rough times. I can help when/how I can...even if it's just with hugs and/or a cup of coffee and time to listen to them vent/rant/whatever. But, in the end, I've got to give it to God. He will protect them and help them find another job, get over that awful ex-girlfriend experience, find strength and comfort in light of their grandmother's illness, deal with a surprise/unwanted pregnancy, pass the damn Algebra test that's kicking their butt, or find that certain someone that lights up their life. He and ONLY He can do so. But I can pray for them and with them and love them throughout it all.
It's funny, but now I know why psychiatrists have their own psychiatrists, lol!!
