When God Gives You A Best Friend

I grew up an only child and some would me enjoy consider spoiled, but that was never the case. My brother and I were never close only because we were apart from each other most of youth. I know people when they were kinds wanted a sibling to play with, and spend time with. I was ok being an only child but all I wanted was a friend who I could possibly call “sis” one day. I remember through elementary and grammar school people would come and go. I had become so use to it and summer would arrive the phone didn't ring as much. No loud laughter in the house everything just became quite. The older I got the less I went outside during the summer days to play.

I started high school you know the place that makes you or breaks you. You enter high school and immediately try to find where you belong. My freshman year in high school, I hated it. I knew I was going to have a trying year during second day when I tripped over the bleachers in the gymnasium, and fell on my face. I remember every morning before it was time to head to our first class. Everyone who started class second period would go the cafeteria before the bell rung, and eat breakfast. The people who I would meet up with in the mornings sat at this table and so did this other girl and her friends. I didn't like her for no reason, but I never knew this was the person that God was going to place in my life. Do I feel guilty? Kinda, but she didn't like me neither so I figure that balances it out.

Near the end of freshman year we were in the high school play together. For weeks we were around each getting to know each other. This girl wasn't bad at all, but laughing and joking comes with its benefits for a friendship. What makes a friendship strong is when the tests and trials come. We have fought, and there were many times when I just didn't want to be bothered. I cherished our friendship too much to let something small get in between us.

When God gives you a best friend hold on to them because there is a reason why He has brought him or her into your life. These are the things a best friend will do:

  • Pray for you.
  • Encourage you because you always want someone to push you.
  • They won't always agree with you, but that's ok.
  • Be honest and truthful in love. This may be the toughest sometimes because everyone can't handle the truth. If your friend honesty does not hurt you sometimes that is not your friend.
  • Help you become a better person.

Be thankful for you best friend because they are very hard to come by.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
