Slipping Away

So, I'm not sure if everyone has this problem at some point in their lives and it's just not brought up in conversation, or if it's just me--I think it might just depend on the person. Today, well actually over the past few days, I've had one of those revelations where you wake up and realize that suddenly you're at a place where you've always tried to be sure to avoid. I seem to always have an issue with this thing, but I never completely lose control of the situation...until now.
I've always been the type of person who I have to really work to keep up with a friendship. I guess everyone does, all friendships require some type of up keep because that's just how any relationship is. Time after time I've watched a friend fade away because they are just so focused on something else--namely a boyfriend, if we want to get into detail. It's awful because you just completely lose touch with that friend. I always told myself that I would not be the girl who gets so emotionally involved with a guy that he comes before my friends, but it just seems like i don't know who those real friends are that I'm supposed to keep at the top of my list no matter what. I mean, it's one thing to be weekday friends, and another to be weekend friends.
Yep, definitely just made that one up. There are the people that you're friends with at school, and then those that you spend time with on the weekend. I have weekday friends, im not at a need for those types, but the real type is the kind im looking for...seems like theres been an absence of them lately.
I guess some people are drawn to certain people, and i just happen to be one that we have to work to get to know each other and im learning to be okay with that...it's more important to have real friends than just numbers. People will be in and out of your life constantly, im learning, and each of them serves a purpose: either them to you, you to them, or both. I guess it's just finding those people that stick around for awhile to get close to. I can't help but think that God weeds people out of your life, at times...the times when it seems like you only have a few people around, and that's okay.
"A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." [Prov 18:24]

So, i guess that pretty much means, yeah, people are gonna slip away, but that's why He is always there no matter what, day or night.

"Do not trust in a neighbor ; Do not have confidence in a friend. From her who lies in your bosom Guard your lips. For son treats father contemptuously, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law ; A man's enemies are the men of his own household.
God Is the Source of Salvation and Light
But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD ; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me." [Micah 7:5-7]

I don't think that this means to push away and be completely distant from people because you can't trust them...but I do think it means not to put all your eggs in one basket, with a friend, girlfriend, boyfriend--human. Humans will fail you, and it isn't a surprise to God when they do and when you fail other people...but it's okay because you have HIM to lean on. Always. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do next...so, I think i'm gonna just leave this one and let God do His thing.
