I’ve made a few acquaintances at school/work/organizations. They seem pretty cool. I’ve tried to make them friends, but I’m not sure how this is going to work out. I’ll keep my eyes open for cool people.
Someone important to me once told me a little story. There was a man drowning in the ocean, and a boat came by to save him. The man told the captain, “No, thanks! God will save me!” Then, another boat came by and the people on the boat said, “Come on up!” and the man said, “No, thanks! I’m waiting for God to save me!” The man drowned, and went up to heaven. He asked God, “Why did you not save me?” Then, God said, “I sent two boats!”
I don’t know if this pertains to anyone, but I thought I’d share, just in case. The moral is that God (if you believe in that) is trying to help people, if they will only help themselves. I know many times in my life I was waiting for help, waiting for a fix, waiting for someone to make it right, telling God he wasn’t helping, but we have to be brave enough to use the tools we have been given to help ourselves. Hope you could use this some time. Have a great day. : )
