This may sound strange, but you've come to my mind several times lately. I know I don't even know you, but I remember the first time I read your blog many, many, many, months ago. I was so touched by your writing and the stories of a young girl struggling to find her place in this world and with her God. I was sad after reading this post. I hope that things have worked out. It does seem tragic to lose a best friend. I suppose the Lord has put you on my mind for reasons unknown to me, but since he has I want you to know I'm praying for you and all that concerns you. Whatever is going on in your life right now, he wants to walk through it with you, the joys and the sorrows. I pray God will bless you, and you will find a way to use your many talents for his glory.

Maybe it was...Oh my -- I almost cried reading this. Maybe it was because I remember when you used to talk about your best friend Jenna and that was back when you two were best friends. Or maybe it was because the exact same thing happened to me. Or maybe both.<br /><br />Bekah, the exact same thing happened to me. <br /><br />When I was nine years old, a girl my age and her family moved next door to us. Before them, all of our neighbors had been rather...er...wacky and I had never grown personally to any of them. And then came along Hayley and her family. We laughed together, cried together, expressed anger and happiness together, were there for each other during the good times and the bad times.<br /><br />She was my soul sister. <br /><br />We would play in the rain, play Barbie dolls for hours on end, sell miscellaneous objects in our houses, spend whole afternoons making jewelry, ride bikes, jump on the trampoline, go to dance together -- when I say we did everything together...I mean EVERYTHING.<br /><br />We told each other so many times that we would not quit being best friends. Ever. <br /><br />And then one day, two years later, Hayley came to me, with tears in her eyes. She broke the news to me -- they were moving. We cried and cried but we were still determined to remain best friends. And we knew we would be. No one could replace our friendship.<br /><br />And then they moved. True, they were only about fifteen minutes away -- but that was so much different than them being next door to where we could simply run over to each other's houses, ring the door bell, and hang out. After they moved we called each other 24/7 and saw each other a few times. A few months later though...<br /><br />Our friendship began to crumble. Then days, weeks, months and then -- years passed, and we were no longer friends. I was crushed because I remembered so vividly us saying we would NEVER quit being friends.<br /><br />But you see, through Hayley fading from my life -- someone else came along. It stings a little to say this, but...someone better. Someone who I could relate even more to. Someone who I could share everything with. Her name was Kiley. We met at dance when we were ten years old -- and we are still best friends today. I would not trade being friends with her for anybody.<br /><br />Bekah, pray. I know what you are going through. It feels a bit like depression -- Unleash your feelings to Christ and see where He leads you. <br /><br />Who knows, maybe He will get Jenna will come back or He will find somebody else even better to take her place. It all depends on what He has planned for you.<br /><br />Pray. Pray hard. You will be okay, I promise you.Anna Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963953862004799101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604954442354384068.post-5092063902904061912012-03-13T15:47:11.570-07:002012-03-13T15:47:11.570-07:00Thanks Stephanie :) that means a lot to me !!Thanks Stephanie :) that means a lot to me !!Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863187635579987957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604954442354384068.post-83228035780090816002012-03-13T08:29:23.739-07:002012-03-13T08:29:23.739-07:00This just happened to me too, actually. It's i...This just happened to me too, actually. It's incredibly hard. I have other good friends, but she's the one who knows EVERYTHING. She was with me when I started middle school, when I started writing my story, when I fell in love. She was the one who could talk me out of bad things and into good things. She kept me sane and helped me have fun.<br /><br />And then all the sudden, something happened and suddenly she was too busy for me. We didn't really talk or see each other for about six months.<br /><br />I went through a lot of hard things in those six months, but she didn't care. I needed her advice so many times. I couldn't sort things out on my own. But she was too busy.<br /><br />Then just yesterday, she called me and gave me the biggest apology I've ever heard in my entire life. She realized what she'd done to me and she said she wanted to fix our relationship.<br /><br />I expected to be over-the-moon happy, but instead, I just accepted her apology and calmly filled her in on my life. I didn't feel much of anything actually.<br /><br />All these months, I'd been falling apart on the inside, needing her. Then when she finally came back, I realized something too:<br /><br />I don't need her anymore.<br /><br />I love her and I'll continue to be there for her, but now I can handle my own problems. I can think things through and make new friends. I don't need her. And it's okay. One might even go so far as to say it's a good thing.<br /><br />Yeah, we had/have a lot of history that I'll never have with anyone else, but...I don't know. Sometimes you just know that it's time to move on. I'll still be there for her, and if I ever need her too, hopefully she'll be there for me. But she's no longer my other half. I discovered how to be whole in myself.<br /><br />I'm sorry this was so long! It's just that I so know how you feel. I wanted to say hang in there, Bekah. She might come around. I really didn't think my best friend would, and yet she did. Yours might come back too, but in the meantime, do some soul-searching, some God-searching, and use this time to grow personally.<br /><br />Who knows, you might discover that you're okay without her too.<br /><br />~StephanieStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008080252448136454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604954442354384068.post-63824400235608408202012-03-12T19:02:16.664-07:002012-03-12T19:02:16.664-07:00I know what you're going through.

Now please read the whole of this com...Dear Bekah,<br /><br />Now please read the whole of this comment, I may not be popular but God says that populatity isnt everything.<br /><br />I agree with part of your post that we are to love all men equal! No matter what they are doing. <br /><br />BUT if you read Genesis you will find that God destroyed two cities by the names of Sodom and Gomorrah because of their wickedness and it specifically names homosexuality as part of this. <br /><br />Again BUT! God also says that He sent His ONLY Son, that while we were YET sinners Christ died for the ungodly. This means that God does love us, all of US, but He says that we must turn away from our sins and follow Him. <br /><br />To sum up, God hates the sin ( Eg. homosexuality), Loves the sinner (sent His only son), But the sinner will die an eternal death if they do not accpet Jesus Christ as their Saviour and turn away from their sin.<br /><br />It is very simple.<br /><br />Thank you for reading.<br /><br />KatherineKatherine Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133820419363367218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604954442354384068.post-66258584394307175762012-02-20T12:36:29.544-08:002012-02-20T12:36:29.544-08:00THANK YOU so much for this!

Yes, God definitely love...I agree with you mostly.<br /><br />Yes, God definitely loves and forgives homosexuals. They are not going to hell because of being homosexual, just as we aren't going to hell for lying, stealing, cheating, dishonoring our parents, etc.<br /><br />I do think that some people are born more likely to be attracted to their same sex. Similarly, some people are born with a tendency to cheat on their spouses or lie or want to hurt people. Yes, they were born that way. Does that make it okay? No. God never said doing the right thing would be easy. He just promised to help us.<br /><br />I think that homosexuality is wrong. However, I don't think it's any worse than other sins. It's something for the individual and God to work out together.<br /><br />Christians have no right to hate and judge homosexuals. We're all sinners, just the same, and what we need to do is HELP one another, not write each other off as unforgivable heathens.<br /><br />~StephanieStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008080252448136454noreply@blogger.com
