Been Awhile

Hello,
 It's been awhile since I have blogged. So many thoughts have been running through my brain right now. I am wondering how to process things and how best to handle the situations that have risen up in  my life lately. I am extremely puzzled with the meaning of friendships. What is a friendships? How do u make them last? How do keep friends? All of these questions and I wish that someone would could give me the answers I am looking for.  If you the answers I would appreciate you letting me know. Thanks

How come Friendships hurt??

As I sit here writing this. I have realized that it is possible that I have hurt a friend. And the sad thing is I HAVE to say BUT.. She has hurt me as well.
What do you do when you have said " I am sorry" one too many times. Or you have had one too many "drama issues." that you so didn't want to drag her into but it happens.
 You weren't there when they need you, but yet they seem to have moved on to another person and shut you out. It is like a tennis ball on a tennis court at the U.S. Open. Sometimes all you can do is throw your hands up and pray.
 I am giving this friendship to you Lord, I have given to you so many times. I just don't know what to do anymore. I wish that somehow, someway we could start over. Hi, My name is.... Nice to meet you? Have you ever wanted a "do-over" the problem with life is that you don't get "do-overs" and unlike God. Some people just won't forget or let go.
I hope that at some point my friend forgives me. And I her...

Hope.. What a gift...

HOPE.. It is a word not many of us hear of these days. It is a word that for some might not be in their vocabulary. I have discovered that HOPE is a gift. A gift from a mighty GOD. Because without it, life would be even more unbearable at times.
People have HOPE that the Lord will meet their physical,financial, and emotional needs, Those who have sick loved ones, look for the silver lining in the clouds, or with the cup half full instead of half empty. Those who are looking for God to provide financially, HOPE that they will make the mortage payment or rent. They know that their is HOPE but in the midst of all the emotions and needs how do you find it.
 I have learned that the best way to find HOPE is to turn to GOD. Because he will hand you the present of HOPE in ways you can not even imagine. And once you receive this present, it is a blessing to have. Now don't get me wrong sometimes we misplace this gift. But God is ALWAYS gracious to help us find it again.
May the Lord Bless you all with HOPE today and tomorrow,
