Friends...
Ever wondered why would one person actually still bothers to be-friend someone no matter how many times the person backstab you and betray you. And yet despite of all these, you are still seen stucking up for that person although you say that that person is no longer a friend. Sticking because you are afraid that you will be left with no friends. Insecure that your friends will not last and leave you for that person. Insecure about the strength of the relationships you hold. Hating to go back to the feeling of lonelyness...
Are friends really that impt?

Thank God really, I have found a place in this place I can call FAMILY. They are no longer people that I just call friends or the kind of secondary school kor, jie friendship. Rather, they are really people I can call as brothers, sisters, FAMILY. It is kind of sad though if one who seeks the family relationships in church and yet fail to do so. Taking the initiative to befriends those that you don't like. Not out of being a hyprocitical person, but because of God's overflowing love in us. Perhaps that is what differs the relationship in the world and in the church.
Had our annual cousins' meet. The above do apply too in this case. Our "clan" of cousins. Felt rather bad actually. Many things despite knowing about it, I seem to fail to detect any problems and potential mistakes and also failing to follow-up on certain problems.... Grow me yea Dad? Give me wisdom in handling all these...
*Family is Ohana. And Ohana means no one gets left behind. We are family. We will be there for the one in need ALWAYS. I PROMISE.
+ AMEN
