  One of the greatest asset in life are F-R-I-E-N-D-S.
  
  

  
  

  
  One of the least thing we are thankful about, sometimes, could be our friends.
  
  Perhaps one of the reason I am typing such an entry at such an odd morning hours is because I am going to be flying on a jet plane in less than 15 hours.
  
  I'm excited, yet VERY VERY anxious. Perhaps, it's the thought of the long-haul flight that's giving me such notions. I don't like taking long flights, but I do love traveling back home. So that's a contradicting instinct for myself. Anyways......let's get over it and get to my main point.
  
  There are some issues that I have been wanting to bring up since this morning and now I finally have the time to sit down and type it in a sanely manner.
  
  I believe with all my heart that friends are gifts from God. Let's take a look at how God give gifts in general.
  God give what's best for you. In His timing, you will receive what he has intended for you way before you were conceived. God give gifts in ways we do not understand, and yet at times, we don't really realize that they are in fact gifts. God give you gifts so you can glorify Him, not just for your own pleasure.
  And one thing, when God give anything to you, He gives the best. It's not good enough to give good ones or those close to the best, but it's the BEST.
  
  But one thing though, I do have a question. Is it too much for me to say that, all that is mentioned above, can be used under the term of 'Friends'?
  I truly believe that, even when it comes to friends, God gives the best for you. And even as friends, we might not truly agree with God that they are in fact the greatest friends that God has given to us.
  
  Lately, there has been some issues running around.
  
  Let me share something that I've learned long time ago and yet I am still learning, regarding friends.
  
  Have you ever had a close or good friend that when you started the friendship and asked questions like, "Hi, you're nice, can I be your best friend?" or "Can I be a good friend with you, I think you will do fine befriending me."
  
  I mean DUH!?? Hello.........??
  Well, I'm sure if this has happened to anyone before, but hello??! I have never make a good or close friend saying that. I mean come on, does it make sense to even say that? I dont know..but for me..that's a little ridiculous.....
  
  My point is..........You dont just put yourself in a proactive manner or radical way to make a new found acquaintance into becoming your good friend, can you? I mean it's not ILLEGAL...but it's just not the way.
  I don't remember having good friends that I made because I love them SOOOOO much that I'd say what I said.
  The thing is, I believe good friends were made out of very 'accidental' circumstances that we face in life together, which I truly believe God has meant to put us together as such. Even friendships are built out of mutual understanding and agreement, and what not, the 'chemistry'?
  
  The truth about friendship is similar to what I believe as a worshiper is unto God, you don't start a factory to manufacture your desired friends, so can we not manufacture something that we want to show off to God, instead of what God wants, in us.
  
  I still believe that friendships bloom out of a lot of circumstances that we go through together, and yet not something that we can manufacture, instead, it's something that is under God's divine plan. I mean, come on! What do you think people?
  
  Come on, I don't mean that you don't have to put effort in building a friendship, but hey, can we learn to draw a line and be more matured in what to do and what not to do? Should we go to the stage of being pushy? I believe we need to sit back and think if all these are all worth it.
  
  I'd dare to say today that I have a handful of really GREAT friends that I can count on. There are those that I know I can borrow their shoulders to cry on and there are also friends that I can lend my shoulders to and there are also friends that I trust and still there are some that I need to draw the line about. Still, no matter who they are, they are a great blessing to me.
  
  I've always believe that I do not need to have a thousand friends, instead I'll just need a few good friends than a thousand acquaintances that I wonder if I could call them real friends.
  
  Today, this moment, I thank God for them. Thanking God for who they are and not what I wish them to be. Isn't it weird sometimes we wish our friends could live up to our expectations? I thank God for the differences, I thank God for their faithfulness, for their guts on telling me off when I don't do the right thing or make the right decision.
  
  My prayers for you today is that you'll treasure them wherever they are and you'll find and meet people whom God has intended you to meet.
  
  When you find someone you can consider great friends, always remember that they are 'parcels' from Heaven.
  
  All right, I think I'll sign off here. I'll see and chat with the rest of you when I reach the land of Malaysia.
  
  Please do pray for my journey back home if you're reading this. Thank you.
  
  For those peeps back home, I can't wait to see you. For peeps in UK, I'll miss you and I will always remember you when I partake those YUMMYLICIOUS food back in Malaysia.
  
  

  
  

  
  Take care guys and girls.....Love you..! *HUGS*
