Hello, all - I am Lara. Yes, I've introduced myself before, however - as we all are, I am at a different point in my journey.
I've been reflecting a lot lately on the people that God has placed in my life, and I've realized that I've been taking a lot of them for granted without realizing it. My parents, especially. My Daddy is my hero for more reasons than I think I could ever put into words. My Mom is always there for me, whether I like to believe that or not. My brothers, as annoying as they can be, love me a lot and their annoying habits are how they tell me that.
My best friends in the whole world have been right there this entire time, and yet I haven't recognized it until years later. Erik, Mikey, Abbie, Jaz - these four people are able to lift me up when I'm down and remind me that I can always turn to Christ when I need a friend. They are the most Christian people I know, and I have decided that I am going to surround myself with these four, along with my family, and try to learn from them.
Finally - the person that got me on the track I'm on now. My ex-boyfriend, whom I haven't spoken to since I broke it off this January. There's a reason that God put him into my life, and though I am no longer interested in him romantically, I miss his friendship and his companionship...and I really hope that there is some way I can mend things between us. I will eat crow and say I am sorry, because I am.
Anyway, that's what's on my mind tonight as I type this and listen to Life 101.9 - a station that has pretty much changed my outlook every day I wake up.
