It is hard to live this life alone. In spite of the fact that my number one rule is "People are stupid," it is awfully hard to enjoy yourself without people. In fact, I would go as far as saying life would be near impossible without brothers and sisters in Christ to guide you and walk beside you on life's darkest roads. Most of you know I've been there, and I've told you I never would have survived alone. God has given us other people because he knows we can't do it on our own.
I was thinking about my courage when it comes to other people. I come across as ridiculously outgoing at school, but I'm really not. I hate meeting new groups of people; I am claustrophobic in large crowds. What is even worse, is that I don't really appreciate the friends I already have in my life. Two great examples of this are Mrs. Martin and Mr. Bray. These two have been incredible friends to me. I love them dearly, but I rarely pray for them or ask them how things are REALLY going.
Daniel Broas made a challenge I would like to emulate; I want to reach out to those around me and, whether it is awkward or not, let them know I love them. I need to be a true prayer warrior and live each moment as if it is the last, not just for me, but for those around me. You never know how long someone else is going to be in your life Don't waste that time. And to Ross and Sara: If you read this, you should know I care about you more deeply than I ever say; I treasure the friendships we have.
