Random phone call!!

            Here lately I have been getting these random phone calls from friends that I have not seen or talked to in a long time.  These people are calling me explaining to me situations that are so hefty.  These talks are not just to see how I am, yet they are conversations that require me to be very open and alert in someway.  A lot of my friends call me because I am a very good listener but here recently these conversations have been too much for me to handle.  In these conversations they are things that are explained to me in a way that it actually blows my mind.  A lot of my friends have been going through so many struggles.  It seems like they are all going through at the same time so as a friend it becomes a burden on me because I am trying to be there for everyone.  In some ways I think that I am the SOCIAL SUPER WOMEN!!!  In doing so I develop so much stress…  I think that God has blessed me in a way that people sense a level of trust in me allowing them to easily warm up and talk to me.  I just have to know how to handle that information which means always staying PRAYED UP!!!  Before I close out I want to share some poems and quotes about friendship that I think are awesome.   

It takes a tremendous amount of skill to decipher your emotions about friends and even more so when it comes time to put it into writing.  There are infinite meanings to the word friendship.  Our friends allow us to experience an infinite array of diversity in who we choose to honor with the title of friend and reflects ourselves and the choices we make, both big and small in our journey through life, making friendships so vital and great assets in our lives.

“But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.”

-Thomas Jefferson

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend."
~Albert Camus
