Friendship

Friendship is hard.
Sometimes you think you are really close with someone but really you are not as close you thought.
It can be hard because you have to  be intentional in getting together and staying up to date on each other's lives.
It can also be hard because you might have to ask all the questions.
It can also be hard because you might move in opposite directions and not be in each other's lives for your whole life.
Friendship is also hard because you have to vulnerable and honest. This also makes friendship...

Friendship is also rewarding.
Its rewarding when you share open, honest struggles and they validate or encourage or listen to what you are going through.
Its also rewarding when you know they are praying for you.
Its rewarding when you are with the friend as they go through something hard and come out better and stronger.
Its rewarding when you attend your friend's wedding, parties and celebrations.

Friendship is also fun.
When you are friends with someone, you can make each other laugh, and giggle.
You can be yourself around your friends.
You can travel together.
You can do spontaneous things with a friend.
You can go out to eat or drinks with your friends.


There are so many qualities of a friendship and you have to take the good with the bad. I had an experience with a friend that made me reflect on our friendship. To be honest I was disappointed about a decision she made because we were close friends. In reality the season for our friendship might be coming to an end because we are in different seasons. So like all relationships, I give this friendship and person over to God trusting that new relationships are on the horizon.
