A friend whom I can fully trust; whom I know won’t judge me for saying the wrong things @ the wrong time..
Switchfoot -Thrive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
A steering wheel doesn’t mean you can drive
A warm body doesn’t mean I’m alive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
Whenever I feel angsty and down, I always love to listen to Switchfoot. Great band and songwriting!
5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
And of the far-off seas;
6 Who established the mountains by His strength,
Being clothed with power;
7 You who still the noise of the seas,
The noise of their waves,
And the tumult of the peoples.
8 They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs;
You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice.
Psalms 65:5-8
Noises and distractions are everywhere but, in God, we can have peace; we can rejoice! =)
TGIF PEOPLE!!!
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
Sometimes we ask God, “How come you are not here anymore?”, but we didn’t realize the friends that He has placed in our lives…
I think God purposely does that so that we do not get overly superstitious in just wanting an answer from Him.
So, treasure friendships! =)
