drafts and friends
i read through my blog drafts today and i noticed 2 things:
1. they are a kind of indicator as to how my year has been. the years of change had more, and the yrs where life was pretty fine and dandy (like last yr) had less. needless to say this yr wins without even being over yet
2. they are all written in times when my mind and heart was in turmoil, either with anger, sorrow, disappointment or heartache and yet they all have a common theme of pointing back to God as my ultimate comfort and strength :) it is good to look back and see how the Lord has and will bring me through always!
anyway, i had a random thought yst. what constitutes a best friend? and. do i have one? well ive been thinking and i think to me its someone who has the same ideals and beliefs as you, who can listen to your little foibles and failures in life and not judge you, who is able to tell you when you are being stupid without making you feel defensive because you trust that they are right, who you want to confide in because thier opinions mean something to you, who are able to tell you things about yourself you never knew and who loves you for who you are, faults and all. what a long list haha. and as for the second question, i guess i do know at least one, maybe two people who fit the bill and i feel so blessed for them, but 'best friend' seems abit wierd i suppose. it implies a kinda mutually exclusive thing so i dunno. i remember when i had a best friend, but we moved on and i suppose after that i will never really be able to think a best friend is forever. i guess just having a bunch of good friends, each who provides a part of the whole is blessing enough huh! what do you think?
anyway, chris bdae pics are up on pics blog ---------------------->
