So I know this might be a late post si...Hey Lisa... <BR/>So I know this might be a late post since I just looked at your blog today (Yes, I've been coming home just to sleep these days) but I hope everything worked out ok. <BR/><BR/>Being friends with girls is a tricky thing isn't it? I totally understand what you mean by being naive because we were able to meet awesome women of faith at Western...but somehow, that bubble does need to be popped. Just know that even though we get hurt when we put our guards down, there also comes great healing from God and also great friendships when we do open ourselves up to the right people :D <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing that on your blog. Love you lots and I miss you.Susan Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401994834688284124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576595569275119005.post-50566170734676173632009-03-23T22:30:00.000-04:002009-03-23T22:30:00.000-04:00hmm. yes. slaps in the face indeed do suck (a lo...hmm. yes. slaps in the face indeed do suck (a lot...unless its in the result of a slap-bet...in which case it is well deserved, and also has an air of humour...but more about that later...at perhaps a more appropriate of times..). <BR/>i agree: girls always do seem to stick up for each other (kind of like in packs?) and always 'got each other's backs' through thick and thin...but strangely at the same time, the species seem to be secretely (and tirelessly) at each others throats, like some rediculous unspoken competition. <BR/>my comments above may be completely irrelevant to what you are going through.<BR/>what i do know is...frienships (especially with girls...strangely...) are tough. but to love a friend, is to LOVE a friend. no matter what redonkulosities (not a word, i know) they may dump onto you. the best friends are the ones that stick it through, and selflessly continue to love and try and try again to understand what the poop the friend is doing/saying/going through. but a lot of the times...we wont understand..and it will be frustrating. an even better friend, confronts the friend when they've done something to hurt them, and even gives them an occassional yelling-at when they need it. what kind of friends would we be if we never taught each other lessons, and also never learned lessons from each other (i just said the same thing twice...)? <BR/>its understandable that you are tired and worn out from this, but isnt love so rewarding because it is such hard work? <BR/>perhaps none of this has anything to do with anything...but for some reason or other i felt compelled to leave the longest comment i've ever posted on blogger on your blog.<BR/>hope all is well. and i look forward to seeing hand-drawn-bubble-wrap-texture!jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474268631659172996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576595569275119005.post-75739683456989662642009-03-21T01:16:00.000-04:002009-03-21T01:16:00.000-04:00hmin all we do... let's ask ourselves.are we lovin...hm<BR/>in all we do... let's ask ourselves.<BR/>are we loving others well?<BR/>are we loving God well?<BR/><BR/>don't think of it as a slap in the face, sister... think of it as a new revelation! that we are called to love when it feels impossible to love. it's not our own love we're loving with, anyway, right? let God fill you and overflow... <BR/><BR/>it's much too difficult to love on our own. <BR/><BR/>and hey, this journey is always going to be a process... of unlearning and learning anew. be open to change, because it means you're growing! <BR/><BR/>hug.sun.ahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385104055698805552noreply@blogger.com
