friendship

Today, I am thankful for godly friends.

I truly have the greatest friends in this world. I could be a little bias, but seriously if you know them, then you know how correct that statement is. I know that without them, I would not be where I am today. They have been my accountability, my encouragement, that voice of reason, sometimes confrontational, advice-givers, and often times the shoulders that I've needed to cry on! My dad likes to argue that one person can not have multiple "best friends" but I beg to differ. I am so incredibly thankful for them. As I look back to high school, I become even more thankful for them. We held each other up. We kept each other from making stupid choices (or at least we tried to..ha!). We were there for each other and we always encouraged each other. My friends shared the same passion, and that was to follow after Jesus Christ. I never had those friends that tried to bring me down or tempt me to do things that were not wise. I am thankful that God placed us together and have kept us together. I'm blessed to have some pretty amazing friends and I don't know what I would do without them!

Choose your friends wisely. Surround yourself with people that are going to encourage you in your walk with God. Those friends are the ones you will want to have by your side at all times! --just thought I would throw that in :)
