Friends are very important, as is your family. Many people have different pictures of what family looks like. My own parents divorced many years ago. Out of that, I’ve gained several good people in my life in the form of step-family.
A couple of years ago, I got the feeling that God was getting ready to begin cleaning out my life. He was to begin with the people that fostered bad habits. Over the course of 2011, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the buddies that I used to party with moved away. It was a bit tough as these were some of my best friends.
God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. – PSALM 68:6
One of my goals for 2012 is to simply spend more time with good people. It’s not to the point of ALWAYS saying yes when the opportunity arises, but I’m making it a priority. The verse was one that I received from a gal who sends out daily verses – Kendra Todd – and it was a nice reminder that He will consistently be placing me around people that I NEED (and that need me too.)
