A couple of months ago, I felt like I really didn't have someone to be my confident or my listener. I felt like I was the only one who could deal with my troubles; the only one who knew enough about me to make a difference.
Because of this, I was kind of sad. Of course I have my really good friends, but I don't see/talk to them everyday. And I didn't feel like I should burden them with the silly thoughts that were running around in my head.
So the only one I told about my worries, dreams, and random thoughts was my journal. :) And while that helped, it just wasn't the same as having someone to comfort me.
Then one night, not too long ago, I was walking Sammy. It was a cold, clear night. The stars were bright, and I was gazing up at them (btw, this is my favorite time to think).
I was thinking about how I sometimes feel that I have no one I can truly talk too. And then, a realization hit me: I have God.
God is my best friend. He's the only one in the whole wide world who knows everything about me, down to the gnarliest details. He knows how much I want to teach, get married, and raise a family. He knows how much I hate spiders, rollercoasters, and muggy days. He knows all my quirks and faults, and yet He still loves me. He lets me praise Him, cry to Him, and petition Him. He listens to my pleas and all my prayers (no matter how silly they are!).
I talk to God about everything. Even though He knows all about me, I still talk to Him about my day, what my worries are, and what I'm thankful for.
And you know what? God listens and comforts me. He doesn't judge me for the crazy things I say, nor for the many times I come to Him crying. He's the ultimate best friend. (:
Love always,
~Lily

Great post Lily, That is so what I needed to hear from someone other than the back of my head. Thanks.
He's my best friend, too :)

and then of course i have my soul sister :)
blessings girl!

Amen Lily! He is our bff, comforter, provider, our everything. I used to be saddened by my lack of friends but since I let go and let God be in control He has blessed me with many friends, like yourself! :)
That VERY SAME thing happened to me too. :) What would we do without our great and powerful God? :D
This is a great post!
I might not only be speaking for myself here, but even though I have God to talk to about all my troubles, it can be kind of hard because he can't talk back to me. I normally talk to my youth pastor, but it's not nearly the same as talking to God. I can share EVERYTHING with God, no matter what. That definitely beats talking to my youth pastor, no matter how awesome he is. Just thought I'd throw that bit of info in here.
Again, great post!
