I can do a Three-Sixty!!!

Yes. I can do a 360 when it comes to friends. I started at 0, moved through the 1st Quadrant to pi/2. Can ya guess what happened there? Then I came around to pi. Yup, you guessed it!. Moving right through, we come up on 3pi/2. Yeah, I’m not quite back to 0, but I’d say I’m somewhere between 5pi/6 to 7pi/8. Almost there.

I shoulda known late bloomers never make it. College will hopefully cure that. Exactly what I didn’t want happen, is though. The only couple of friends I’m going to end up having by the time I leave for college are going to be the two people I know who are going to the same place as me. I don’t mean to complain, but isn’t that what a diary is all about? Somewhere to leave your thoughts.

I wish I could just do that. I wish I could leave my thoughts on this page, not having to ever return to them if I didn’t want to. Don’t you think I’d just let it all go if I could? Don’t you think I’d let all those thoughts get washed down the gutter in the rain if I could? But thoughts aren’t like that. You can’t just leave them on the side of the road in a cardboard box. You can’t just spray them with some Windex® and wipe them away. I can cover my thoughts and feelings over with dust though. Wait long enough, and maybe the dust will solidfy into a protective layer. That’s all any of what I feel or think is anymore: layers of dust to cover up sparkling, see-through glass.

Only one thought has been able to penetrate recent event. I’ll give you a hint: I’ve given up all hope on a few of my friendships. My thought is something someone told me. I know now that youi can never trust youthers. Period.

I don’t want to be all bible betty on you but I want you to know something…You CAN get rid of thoughts or feeling, or hurt. You have to give them up to Christ. It’s like we underestimate our God and how big He is. Justin I know you hurting and I understand that because I am too…but I’m telling you, You have to give the God. You haven’t yet which is why you still feel the way you do.

Things will get better and time is a wonderful thing. People come and go in our lives because God has something that we are supposed to learn from them. Sometimes we want more but we can’t have it. I want nothing more than to see you happy and to see that Christ is shining through you through all of this. Let all of this go, give your pain to Christ. That doesn’t mean it will go away right now…

Matthew 11:28-30(from The Message):Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me–watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
