girls night
sometimes I don't know. I feel like I'm moving on and making new friends and it's great. However, when I see my other friends doing the same thing I worry about them and the friends they're making. I mean- the people I hang out with these days drink and go clubbing- and I don't mind because they respect that I don't do that. And maybe everyone's else's new friends may respect that as well and maybe I've over reacting but i don't think I am. I knwo that they're drinking and thinking about going to clubs when tey're still underage... I get that they want to be popular and the desire can be really strong sometimes- but it kills me to see them slipping.
I get that we all need friends to talk to about where we are with God, and of course it's hard to not relate to feeling far from God and not being strong in your prayer life. And our natual response to someone telling us that is to say, "yea been there done that" but I think that maybe it just gives them an opt-out. I mean- when I see people with a strong prayer life and relationship with God and I hear them saying I slack off sometimes it almost makes me want to keep being lazy becaue it's like now I'm not the only one... It just doesn't seem healthy- and the more people that say that to you the more you are able to fall away and do stupid things.
Just a rant...
