Katy's Korner Good friends are hard to come by

I'm not a perfect person and who is??? but I am a good friend.. I hate arguing...i hate confrontation... I LOVE giving...maybe to much and I ALWAYS put others before me..I continuously pray for friends and am always there for them. Do you ever feel like you are too good a of person? Or a friend? What to do when someone is going through hard times...and what do you say?



I always take God's approach...I always pray either to myself before listening to someone's problems or pray before telling someone my problems. Its always hard to empathetic because no one ever deals with situations the same. Situations are never black and white but one thing you want to do is encourage and make sure people FEEL loved....trust me blaming does nothing.. nor does it make the situation any better.....

Remember WHO your friend is: Some people get clouded by the situation and forget that your not going though it...I usually am this friend that wants to fix everything right away...and that is just impossible. God always has the final say and that is SO  reassuring to me. Because not everyone is going to console like their friend wants them to but for me..it is super comforting...I always have to tell myself that this isn't you going through the situation so I try not to dumb it down or make it less severe then the situation is..and keep in mind who your friend is...if they are tough and strong willed and can handle anything emotionally then they probably don't need as much as consoling...or a carton of ice cream and cookies...as an emotional sensitive person like me lol...my sister and I are WAY sensitive and SUPER emotional...probably because it was just me and her...either way we cry...ALOT... so bring on the fat foods!!!*i digress*

Be there at all times-if you are like me I will need tons of prayer and support though difficult times...I think God has blessed me with good intentions..friends should genuinely care about their friends..and if they dont..then you might have reevaluate your friendship lol...no matter what be there for your friends...more often than not you will not be able to relate to the situation...and that's fine but don't go without letting them know you are at least there for whatever :) it always helps

I am a hardheaded..stubborn... INDEPENDENT..maybe even too much for my own good..woman... that never likes or enjoys asking for help...if you have a friend like me the best thing to do is to get past the pain..break them down...and NEVER let them get their way in tough situations..cuz we think and when we think its bad...all bad...thats what God put u there for...be our escape...just food for thought
love always
