Sometimes, I like to think I'm in control. Then God busts in and shows me just how wrong I am.
One of the biggest examples of this is my friendships. How silly of me to think that I control who I become great friends with.
Sometimes I think, "I like him, him, and her. They will be my friends." Various and sundry things (that are out of my control) happen and BOOM...I have a completely different set of friends. Better friends.
People who I never expected would be there for me. They just appear at the right time. A God-send, I really believe.
This is especially true for my female friends. Especially (but not limited to) Elizabeth, Kristen, Beffy, Leah, and Sasha. I just never imagined how amazing these ladies would be in my life. Sometimes I sit back and think, "Why are you still here? I don't deserve your amazing friendship." Someday soon, I'd like to write a blog about how each individual has helped me. Maybe. I'm not so great with "squishy feelings."
For so long I rejected close friendships with girls. I had grown up with a best girl friend and didn't think anyone could match her caliber. I was wrong. Who knows how many friendships I missed out on before figuring that out?
Well, I cannot change the past...I can only learn from it.
I've learned that God puts the right people in my life at the right time. What a blessing.
