But, as I grew up, I found that even
though I had grown up having good friendships with guys, that I
didn't carry this over into my relationships. I really don't know
why...
Often, I would meet someone and fall
into the instant attraction/dating game. We barely had time to get
to know each other, and we didn't really care. This led to
relationships with people I essentially knew nothing about. But, for
some reason, I couldn't go back.
I couldn't figure out how to be just
friends with guys anymore. If I wasn't dating a guy, I surrounded
myself with a few, incredibly close, girl friends. And then the next
guy I was friends with, I was mysteriously dating a week or two
later.
Now I'm realizing how important
friendship is. Without that foundation, a relationship cannot grow,
and can never really begin.
I'm writing all of this because of
Diane Comer's most recent blog about one of my favorite sermons that
John Mark has ever preached. Each week, I will reblog her breakdown
of the four most important pieces of a relationship.
I pray for more than someone to spend
the rest of my life with.
I pray for a best friend to spend the
rest of my life with.
Read the blog & be blessed:
In Christ,
Lilia
