Old Friends:)
Ugh, I'm so tired. But I have such wonderful friends, and I have for so long. Seriously, two old friends randomly wandered back into my life this week- David and Michelle. I don't remember being that close to David when we worked together, but you know those people that you meet that are just so solid, so consistent? I don't know him well, or in many situations, I guess you could say, but he's just so....solid. In a world where people are so inconsistent, he's great. He is, perhaps, one of the wisest people I know. Not in that he knows everything, but that he thinks through things, and makes well informed decisions. He's not afraid to learn more, to do the right think, to be who he is, despite the world around him. How much I have to learn from this example! I hope that our friendship continues to grow.
And Michelle- at times, I wonder, how in the world can I exist without her? I can't quite explain WHY I need her, but I do. hahahha, oh, goodness. We talked for 3 hours tonight. That's a long talk! I'm quite sure that I would have talked more if 1) I hadn't just processed so much with Dave the night before and 2) we were in person. Mich is another one that is so consistent in my life. Not a consistent presence in person, perhaps, but so often I will think back to a conversation with her- seriously, one of the wisest people I will ever know. She's just so...logical! Hahahha, I don't know if I can explain it- few people are willing to say, if A, than B, regardless of whether I like it or not. I tend to get hung up on my emotions a little more than I should, and make decisions based on them.
I could go on and on about my wonderful friends. Seriously, I learn so much from them. Like, Erin, she loves birthdays. Birthdays weren't such a big thing to me. But she's good at those things- cards, and....caring about people, consistent communication- it's great. She- oh, Jess does it too!- text me to tell me things about their day. How cool is that? People want to tell me what's going on in their lives! I feel so honored. Anyway, birthdays, she teaches me that they're important, and that I need to care about them. I am learning. It's a big process.
Everything in life, it seems, is a big process. I have so much to learn! Ah. Luckily, I have so much time to learn it:). Why in the world did God choose to bless ME with so many wonderful people?
