I started a BLOG! :)

This is my first official post. I have been thinking about doing this for awhile now and from reading my friend Bernie's blog (will get a link to that later), I decided now is the time to start.
I know some people don't like to read, but my aim is to hopefully inspire others with my thoughts and perspectives in a Christian point of view.

Being saved and single and a young woman, isn't easy. When you accept that call and start to grow on that path with Jesus is a process. It is so worth it, but like I said it isn't easy.

Things change for you once you start to grow spiritually and you begin to see things for what they really are. Your life has changed once you called on Jesus' name. The things you used to do, you don't do anymore. You develop a conscience, a moral, and the Holy Spirit guides you to become wise and discern certain things.

An example of things that change is friendships.

Sometimes the people we call BFFs and were extremely close with; grow apart. This is not a bad thing and it does not mean that because you are saved you should just shut others out. It just means that you are growing on a spiritual level which they may not be on OR they aren't ready to be on. Because so many things are changing in your life, you may not feel that closeness. You may even come to find out that now you guys have nothing in common.
I personally like to surround myself with like-minded people. The people who are also growing with Christ like me because they will be able to understand certain things I am going through more versus those who aren't saved.
We are young adults now, and our friendships need to align with that.
Conversations should advance from (talking about "BOYS", gossip, parties). Let's talk about Life goals, MEN, growth with Christ, transition into adulthood, careers, family.
I have learned that you cannot have these types of conversations with everyone, they have to also have a mature outlook on things. Relationships; whether friendship or romance, is all about RELATING to one another.
How can you have a Relationship if you can't RELATE??
Just think about that question......

My advice is: Seek God and grow within yourself. Then you will be wise enough to discern friendship woes. God knows what He is doing and will surround us with those friends who will get us where we Need to be, which is on that path of His grace :)

I will be posting again soon!

GOD BLESS ALL MY READERS!
