I think I'm to the point in life, where friends become more like family than family are. If that really makes any sense. And that's not to say that it's that way for everyone, but it's something I kind of notice in others' lives too.
I still love my family, and really being related growing up through the same things with the same parents, etc. has a different connection than friends. But I've gone through some things with friends and felt supported by friends through things that I haven't felt as much with my family on. Family is still important, but friends become your people (to use a grey's anatomy phrase).
I've just been thinking of all the awesome friends I have! From those I see often, to those I get together with once and a while...I'm so blessed by them. I've been pondering this. And how much I'm going to miss them when I leave for YWAM. Don't forget about me!
