BFF

Best. Friends. Forever.
I think every girl has written that somewhere at least once in her life with her best friend. I have had many good friends over the years but true best friends are not easy to find. In the book I'm still reading, Captivating, (which I'm really sad that I'm almost finished with it! I wish it could last forever!!!) I finished the chapter on mothers, sisters, and friends. God showed me so much through this book, especially with this chapter. In case you don't know this about me, my best friends tend to be guys, and I think it's because during middle school and junior high,some of the girls I hung out with seemed to often let me down. Girls just naturally know what to say to other girls to make them feel completely insecure, self-conscious, and worthless. They even make movie after movie about this!! (Mean Girls!? I mean come on, we ALLLLL have had a Regina George in our lives at one point....) I still even to this day have some things I'm self-conscious about because people made fun of me in the 6th grade. Thankfully I've grown up a lot, but some of those things that happen to you when you're that age are really hard to work through, ya know?? I know I'll always have my Lucy Lane group, but ow that I'm in Auburn, God has blessed me with an abundance of the most amazing friends I could wish for. Unfortunately, I haven't had much of a social life lately thanks to school and constantly being sleep deprived (welcome to college, right!?) so I went about two weeks without even talking to my best friends. The other night when I was having my "Jessie-time" I finally got to this chapter in Captivating. I felt really bad about secluding myself from my friends and being completely over taken with school and I was really worrying they were all going to be upset with me. I prayed about it that night and the very next day I had FOUR of my good friends call me that I hadn't talked to in over a month and hung out with my very best friends after chapter! And to add to that, throughout the past week, God has just filled my life with little moments with my best friends that I really really needed. God definitely showed me to never take the relationships I have with my best friends for granted or they could be gone! Anyways I know this is kind of a random, babbling post, but just remember no matter how silly of an issue you feel you have, just pray about it!!
