So I am doing some reflecting on some lessons that God has taught me this past year and the biggest one I can think of right now is "how to build and maintain friendships".
I must confess I have trouble building friendships and sometimes even more trouble maintaining them. The lessons I learned this year about friendship is that you have to have honest,clear, and loving communication. You also have to sometimes stand up for your friends and family ( when you know that they are being hurt by someone else) even if it means losing another friend...this can be so hard but so worth it. You have to forgive...and be merciful.
Friendship can be a hard thing sometimes.
Friendship can be the biggest blessing sometimes though!
Friendship and fellowship is vital to your Christian walk. "Iron sharpens Iron" We need to be encouraging and building each other up. We need to be helping one another in our walk with Christ. We need to learn from our christian friends who are more mature in the faith. We need to mentor our christian friends who are still newborns in Christ. We need to reach out to our lost friends in Christ's love!
If you are reading this and your my friend ( which I think you are if you are reading this =D ) I love you!

A couple of rules and guidelines for comments:
1. Please have them be appropriate... in the langauge you use, your grammer (As much as possible. I don't expect perfection.), and in regards to staying on the subject of the post.
2. Be honest. Share stories and personal experiances if you would like but please don't share names and locations and such...I don't say this to be mean but to protect everyone here =)
