Youth Group = Awesome
&
Youth Group = Friends
So
Friends = Awesome
See what I did there? Does that make sense? Now let me expand and explain why I actually do have the best friends in the entire world.
Like I said, most all of my friends come from my youth group, which in my opinion is a HUGE blessing. See when your friends come from a place like a youth group, you know they're real. You also are all striving for the same thing, to learn about and glorify God. The fact that some of your best friends have a common goal like that, it helps all of us stay on track. For me, they are the first people I go to when I have a problem or just need to talk. I know that their opinions and advice are based on whats best for me and God. To me its just one of those things that makes our friendship stronger.
I think also because we are Godly people we want to do whats best for each other so we will go out of our way to help and make each other happy. I think that's just a part of it though. I mean because we know God we know what love is and we know how to love and I think we have so much love for each other that it just easily pours out of us.
We're close, we really are. Other youth groups are no where near as close as we are. Honestly I don't even think we call the events we plan together youth group events its just a bunch of us hanging out. There is a group of about 9 of us that are extremely close and hang out together often. This week is spring break for us, and literally we have seen each other almost everyday. Monday we got together and played grounders at the park. Tuesday we went to the zoo. Wednesday we had youth group. Thursday we went to the beach. Friday we got together and worshiped for Good Friday. I mean that's not just youth group stuff, that's friend stuff.
An example of how amazing my friends are is today actually. I've been wanting to play badminton lately, but haven't gotten to so I tweeted about it today and about an hour later I get a call from one of my friends telling me to come outside. BOOM! There they were badminton rackets at hand, singing songs to me and ready to play. I mean these people don't live close to me, but they came out just to play badminton with me! How amazing is that?!
I just can't get over how amazing my friends are, and how blessed I am to have such a great youth group and group of friends that I love with all my heart.
