30 Day Letter Challenge Day 1--my best friend

Prologue

I realize it's been over a month since I last blogged. I've been even more busy than usual. For one, I have an amazing new job that I think I'm going to love. I've been trying to stay focused on learning the terminology as well as the procedures and getting to know my co-workers. Two, graduate school is really kicking my butt! I'm taking three classes one of which is Cost Accounting, another is Corporate Governance that I don't understand at all, and the last is a very demanding class on Special Topics in business. I'm doing my best just to keep my head above water! And most importantly, I'm dealing with major issues involving one of my children. That's all I'm going to say for now. Close friends know what's going on and so does God so if you are a praying person, please pray that the Lord will answer our prayers quickly!

So I'm going to try this 30 day letter writing challenge to try and get myself back on track with my writing/blogging. Hope you enjoy!

Day 1--Your best friend.

Dear Jesus,

Throughout my life I have been blessed with many friends and even "best friends" from time to time. My closest friends usually change with my environment but there are also those lifelong friends that even though I may not see all the time are still special because we've been bonded together by amazing experiences of childhood, teenage years or something else extraordinary. I love them all dearly and as I get older I understand that not all people we love are meant to stay in our lives in the same way they once where. People change. We all grow, we move on and that's okay. I'm content to take people as they are, to do what I can for them when I can and to accept whatever love they have to give at the time.

I used to long for that one special best friend that I would talk with daily, spend time doing fun things, share my deepest secrets, and be in my life throughout its entirety. In the flesh, it's always been a different person. Sometimes my mom. Sometimes my husband. Sometimes my cousin. Sometimes a co-worker. Sometimes a schoolmate. Sometimes another. But no one has been that constant confidant, that "lifelong best friend" because like I said before, circumstances and people change. Only You have been my best friend throughout my entire life. And it's only been lately that I realize I couldn't have ever had a better one.

You always love me unconditionally. You are never surprised by the bone-headed things I do. You are always there. You are not only my Savior but also my comforter, my strength, my peace, my wisdom (when I choose to listen), my laughter, the One I can trust with anything.  You care more about me than I care about myself. You love what I love more than I do. You know what I feel because You experienced everything I have experienced. You never doubt me. You always want the best for me. Nothing surprises You. You are not repulsed by anything I've done but You are also not afraid to discipline me so that I will learn. You are patient. You are kind. You are forgiving.  You are love.

Thank you, Jesus for being my best friend! I love you!
