Not all it's cracked up to be

I was recently reading one if my favorite online magazines, Bedlam magazine, I came across an article that really hit too close to home. Molly Chambers writes on how age 27 wasn't at all how she expected. While reading I reflected on my  what my expectations were :married by 23, having 1st by 25 and maybe by 27 pregnant again or trying. However that picturesque life was not in my cards. I did community college after high school and then for 5 years worked a dead end job before choosing to go back to school and get my bachelors degree. So here I am 27, very single, entering my junior year of college. Life isn't always as you plan and that's okay. 

The right people

In the bible over and over we are commanded to surround ourselves with good friends; friends who build you up. Now I will admit I have taken for granted good friends that have been put in my life. Sadly it took God removing a really close friend for me to see the Godly friends in my life. I focused my time on this friend who led me to make choices that I knew were wrong. After they were removed from the school we attend and my everyday life ;my Godly friends who waited on the sidelines came to my side with warm hugs and listening ears. During the rest of the school year we grew as friends and it's hard to picture life without them and their good Godly cousel. So my peculiar treasures remember to surround yourselves with good Godly friends
