Thoughts for the Day

I've had a very enventful last couple of days. They've been filled with fun times spent with my amazing friends. Last night I got to spend 4 hours caroling and having a Christmas party with my youth group friends....who just happen to be my BEST friends EVER. I've only known this group of people for a year, some even less than that, but I KNOW that I know that I know that I know that God has placed each of them in my life for a specific reason. Some to test me(lol), some to be my closest friends, some who I can share anything with...who are ALWAYS there for me. Today, as I relived the many fun moments from last night, like sliding down a steep, snowy hill in a 15 passenger van, watching Charlie the Unicorn, or the time when Colton and Ryan flew off their seats when we went around a curve or the time spent with MaryBeth talking...I tried to imagine life without these people. I did not like what I imagined. AT ALL. God has used these people to influence me and encourage me...I don't know where I'd be without them..My life could be going in a totally different direction without them. I LOVE each of them so very, very much. Thank You, Jesus for my friends. :)
