Friends Forever
We’ll be best friends and
We can wear
Our friendship bracelets
On our fingers.
I think
They call those
Wedding bands.

…but for the moment. And when that moment fades, new moments will present themselves unto you. Then it’s up to you whether or not you will act upon these moments, each of which is a novel opportunity to learn, grow and become more self-aware. Not all lost love is the end of the world; sometimes it’s the precursor to something great, something more fulfilling, and ultimately something more you.
One day this situation will be funny to me. It’s not right now but I think I’ll start laughing at it anyway…..
Our friendship is way too important to me…..what might seem such not such a big deal to me might be a big deal to you and visa versa. Knowing you’d do the same if the tables were turned, I’m gonna just have your back like ur spinal cord….just wish you woulda told me….YES AGAIN….so I could told you this in response instead of as a blog that you’ll never read….or will you………
Either way basically…..I love my bff….I’ll ALWAYS be there simple as that :)
I feel like we are being pulled so far apart that we are only hanging on by a thread now.
But that one piece of thread holding us together is made of the most solid piece and can’t be broken. Its strong enough to survive anything.
Don’t know how much time will pass or what other things may try to break this last strand, but that doesn’t worry me. Our friendship was built on something indestructible. So no matter what happens on the surface or how much it seems like we are breaking down, I know underneath it all will remain our bond that we will always be able to build up again.
Nothing could ever make me care any less about you or our friendship. I’ll always be there and you will always be my friend.
He knows what I know, I know what he knows, we know what each other knows. I know him. He knows me. We fear we. He feels me. I feel him more. This feeling is too strong to continue to ignore. I wanna know what his reaction would be if he was exposed to the contents of my thoughts…….
THey say one good thing about music,
when it hits you feel no pain.

Some of these Singer even take it as far as saying a Jesus Peace,
But im pulling back all the sheets and im reavealing the beast.
The Beast is out of a cage and he’s looking for beats, so he can manipulate ya brain with his slick worded speech
I said he slithers like a snake but yet he sucks like a leach
I said he slithers like a snake but yet he sucks like a leach.
you see the fact is, this show bis, is as addictive as crack is.
the only differnce is, crack get tapped within your veins,
but rap.. Rythem and Poetry get trapped within ya brain.
So every morning you wake up huming the same song,
Not realizing your hummin death and Destruction all along.
"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together, but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can, She may not think about you every second of the day, bus she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad,. and miss her when she’s not there."

TODAY I FORGIVE YOU POPS! RIP
It is not uncommon for Christians to have questions about forgiveness. Forgiveness does not come easy for most of us. Our natural instinct is to recoil in self-protection when we’ve been injured. We don’t naturally overflow with mercy, grace and forgiveness when we’ve been wronged.
Is forgiveness a conscious choice, a physical act involving the will, or is it a feeling, an emotional state of being? The Bible offers insight and answers to these and many more common questions about forgiveness. We’ll take a look at the most common questions and find out what the Bible says about forgiveness.
Is forgiveness a conscious choice, or an emotional state?
I believe forgiveness is a choice we make through a decision of our will, motivated by obedience to God and his command to forgive.
The Bible instructs us to forgive as the Lord forgave us:
Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (NIV)
How do we forgive when we don’t feel like it? How do we translate the decision to forgive into a change of heart?
We forgive by faith, out of obedience. Since forgiveness goes against our nature, we must forgive by faith, whether we feel like it or not. We must trust God to do the work in us that needs to be done so that the forgiveness will be complete.
I believe God honors our commitment to obey Him and our desire to please him when we choose to forgive. He completes the work in his time. We must continue to forgive (our job), by faith, until the work of forgiveness (the Lord’s job), is done in our hearts.
Philippians 1:6
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (NLT)
How will we know if we have truly forgiven?
Corrie Ten Boom, a Christian woman who survived a Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust, said, “Forgiveness is to set a prisoner free, and to realize the prisoner was you.”
We will know the work of forgiveness is complete when we experience the freedom that comes as a result. We are the ones who suffer most when we choose not to forgive. When we do forgive, the Lord sets our hearts free from the anger, bitterness, resentment and hurt that previously imprisoned us.
Most times, however, forgiveness is a slow process.
Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (NIV)
This answer by Jesus makes it clear that forgiveness is not easy for us. It’s not a one-time choice and then we automatically live in a state of forgiveness. Forgiveness may require a lifetime of forgiving, but it is important to the Lord. We must continue forgiving until the matter is settled in our heart.
What if the person we need to forgive is not a believer?
I have found that prayer is one of the best ways to break down the wall of unforgiveness in my heart. When I begin to pray for the person who has wronged me, God gives me new eyes to see and a new heart to care for that person. As I pray, I start to see that person as God sees them, and I realize that he or she is precious to the Lord. I also see myself in a new light, just as guilty of sin and failure as the other person. I too am in need of forgiveness. If God did not withhold his forgiveness from me, why should I withhold my forgiveness from another?
Is it okay to feel anger and want justice for the person we need to forgive?
This question presents another reason to pray for the person we need to forgive. We can pray for God to deal with the injustices, for God to judge the person’s life, and then we can leave that prayer at the altar. We no longer have to carry the anger. Although it is normal for us to feel anger toward sin and injustice, it is not our job to judge the other person in their sin.
Luke 6:37
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. (NIV)
Why must we forgive?
The best reason to forgive is because Jesus commanded us to forgive. We learn from Scripture, if we don’t forgive, neither will we be forgiven:
Matthew 6:14-16
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. (NIV)
We also forgive so that our prayers will not be hindered:
Mark 11:25
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. (NIV)
In summary and in closing, we forgive out of obedience to the Lord. It is a choice, a decision we make. However, as we do this “forgiving,” we discover the command is in place for our own good, and we receive the reward of our forgiveness—freedom.
