We all have that one friend, the snobby one, the nicest one, the crazy one. I am pretty positive though that no one has a friend like mine.

I met him at the beginning of the school year, he came and sat in my friend's spot to get on her nerves. Little did he know, I kind of knew who he was; we had a few classes together, but at the time I wanted to get close with him so he could introduce me to the guy I had been eyeing since the beginning of school year. If you would have asked me in the moment if I thought our friendship would have turned into what it is today, I would have said "no way!" We started talking and it was great, I remember we had skipped over the small talk and immediately dove into talking about the biggest thing we have in common, our faith. I told him about how I was going to join the colleges worship band and he told me about how he was joining the student ministries worship band. From there, we talk about missionary work and his experiences with it, and the more we talked the more I was starting to actually want to get to know him and have him be more than a skipping stone to some guy, I wanted to be his friend. We began sitting together in all our classes, and studying we would talk about everything, from his amazing girlfriend to how much we hated our classes.

Now, let me tell you why I value his friendship so much. He is honest with me, I know if I ask him a question he will tell me what needs to be heard not what I want to here. He strengthens my relationship with the most important person in this life, God. He doesn't judge me (too much, lol). I know that when I call and ask him to pick me up from a party I don't want to be at, he will come get me, and I won't need to worry about him talking about me or belittling me. I know if I ever need him, he will be there which means the world to me. He exemplifies what to look for in a future boyfriend, or husband. I see his relationship with his girlfriend and it shows me what it looks like when a man in committed to a woman for her, and not for materialistic things or anything else, when his whole heart is committed.

Now, I can't let his head get too big, he can also be a major pain in my butt. He doesn't always respond to my text, even though he has his read receipts on which makes me want to choke him. He knows exactly what buttons to push, and he pushes them. He is charming, and knows it. He is so unbelievably talented, yet humble which is good, but I want to brag for him and say "Hey he is freaking great!" But I won't because I think that would make him feel awkward.

So no, I don't think you have a friend as great as mine, because he is the best, and I love him more than food, which is saying a lot.
