friendships

It seems that in almost every conversation I have with someone, the question "How are the wedding plans?" seems to come up. I guess that it is a good thing because it shows a sign of interest in a person's life. I've noticed a lot of people ask questions that they don't really want an answer to or don't want to take the time to know the answer. Such as with the simple "How are you?" or "How was your day?" there comes a nod of the head which is a blow off or a walk away also a blow off. But there is something else I want to talk about....

Friendships. It seems to me that they are some people who don't intentionally, but do end up hurting more people through friendships than helping. Their friends become their life and they blow off other friends to form new relationships...but those other friends get hurt. The original friendship is damaged and one person is none the wiser while the other friend is hurt over and over and over again by rejection. It's amazing how new relationships can change things, especially when different old friends of one person form a new relationship together creating a new group that leaves a person isolated. Just an observation that comes from the many experiences of forming friendships and from living in the college world with all types of people.

I'm enjoying my new role as a life group leader. I definitely think it will be enjoyable and rewarding of the hardwork.
