The friends

  I have been blessed with the greatest friends ever.  I know that I'm just part of the fam at the Aviles, Schlick, or Dingus homes (what a bunch of names!), and even though I only get to see my cousins about 3 times a year I know they are always going to be right by my side whenever I need them.  God is always good to bless me abundantly!  There are areas of my life/relationships that aren't the greatest and I could focus on those and let them get me down, but choosing not too has been a huge help in uplifting my spirit!  

  I've been reading the book of Proverbs over the past few days and there were quite a few verses that stuck out to me about the importance of who you surround yourself with.  I know all these people have made huge positive impacts on my life, and I would have never found them without God bringing our paths to cross.  What an awesome orchestrator we serve!
