i guess i can now confidently say that there is some hefty amount of truth in that statement!
almost a year ago when i was finally reborn in the Truth (mind you I was raised christian, my whole childhood I believed and feared God, but at the age of 15 i went through some stupid stage where i drank and smoked and crap, terrible time...), I lost about 20 friends within the first week I came to Jesus. not that it bothered me at all; in fact, I was so glad i dumped all these crappy people from my life it felt great to leave behind such bad influences that destroyed who I was raised to be. (lifelong props to mama and tut [da rents] for makin me live my life for the most high God!)
anyways, pretty much ever since then i've been praying for a wave of new, Christian friends who shared my dreams and passions and hunger for truth and the Spirit like I do. and over the span of this year, it has been amazing how many awesome brothers and sisters in Christ I've met!!!
honestly the vast majority of my best and good friends I have today are some of the most faithful, loving people I've ever had the pleasure of being friends with. I am soo thankful for this because without them I wouldn't have this amazing rush in my spiritual life to keep growing and hungering after God with the determination I have never experienced before in my life.
I thank Jesus for hearing my cries for community and companionship and involvement and I have never been quite this happy in all my teen years.
the future...it's blinding!
