How many of you have friends who actually care about you? Friends who will do anything for you? Friends that care about others, and not just themselves? I know that I do have friends like that, but lately it just feels like my friends around here don't care anymore. I'm trying to live my life on the path of righteousness and my friends want me to go to the bar, cabarets, parties, etc. They know that I am not that kind of person, and that i'm not comfortable in those places, but that's what they want to do. They want to hang out with me but they won't really make the effort to do things that I am actually comfortable doing. Do those sound like good friends? I don't really think so. I'm trying to be a good influence as well, and encouraging them to come with me to different things, but sometimes it just feels like it's not working. I know Grenfell is small, and there isn't a whole lot for young adults anymore besides going to the bar, or for coffee. And nothing is open late anymore either. I think that I am going to try and find a small group in Regina that I can attend, and make some more friends in a good church group setting. It would also be nice to start a small group here, but I just don't really know if anyone would actually come. Sigh... I feel like I am complaining a lot today.
There is also the youth center that I would like to start opening on weekends for the youth of the town. It has been running for a few years, but I don't think it really gets opened much. I believe it is something that should be open every Friday and Saturday night, it should be a place where youth can go and feel safe and have fun. This town really needs a lot of prayer! I know that one day God will come and fill the town with His presence and people will realize what they really need!
Sorry this isn't the best blog post today, I am just a little frustrated with things. And maybe I shouldn't write when I'm frustrated, I should wait until I'm a little more peaceful, but for today I'm writing and I'm leaving it at that!
Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable? Proverbs 20:6
