Friends?

The other day, I was in a great mood.  I was excited for my next class, and I was pumped about the weekend. Until I saw someone I had thought was a friend of mine. Don't misunderstand. I still consider him a friend, and he's really important to me, but I've come to the harsh and true realization that people are different with different people. He's one guy on mission trip, and a totally different one at school. He used to be very very different, but I've watched him slip back into a few of his old habits. Not the bad ones, but they weren't good, either. He's part of the reason I became aware of the fact that I didn't really have a relationship with Christ. Basically what happened was that I saw him, and said hi to him, and he didn't see me, or else ignored me. That stressed me out. I know, I know, girls way over think things. I expect too much out of things, and over react when they don't meet my expectations. At the time, I was really upset. I hadn't even tried to talk to him all week, and when I did, he couldn't even be bothered to say hi to me. I consider him one of my best friends. Not in the "hi, you're my best friend, let me tell you all my secrets," kind of way, but in the "hi, you're my best friend, if I need someone to just be there for me, you're the one I can count on." I was really down about that, but when I saw another one of my friends, one who I sometimes overlook when thinking of my best friends in the "you're the person I can count on to be there for me" kind of way, she was there. I didn't have to explain why I was upset in any great detail, I didn't have to defend my feelings because she didn't attack them, she was just there for me. She encouraged me. And so Kayla, I thank you. I saw God in you this week.
