He'll Do It Again

"These 'friends' aren't working for me."

I suppose the type of vibe you give off is the types of people that surround your life sometimes.
When I fell ill with some conditions I was around a lot of individuals that had the same diagnosis I had. Fine and dandy but negativity was one of our outstanding features...
Armed the that defeatist attitude, I felt like I was simply existing.
A home made cupcake that no one wanted to eat.
It didn't help that my friends around me felt the same way. The only time my friends and I disagreed was when I tried to be positive.

Me: "Hey guys, at some point we have to pull ourselves up by our boot straps."
The friends: "First you have to have boots, though."
Me: "Awe, come on. Let's stop thinking about negative stuff."
The friends: "I not negative. I'm an optimist masquerading as a realist."
Me:"Is there anything happy you can think of?"
The friends: "Like what? Seriously. Why don't you go first."
Me: "How about we start out by saying, 'Good morning' or something?"
The friends: "Oh. Sure. Let's start out the day lying to each other. Great."

My friends weren't working for me. I couldn't change them but I could change myself and be around like minded people. It reminds me kind of like our own salvation. It's an individual walk and I was ready to start walking strong. Making a change in my thinking felt a bit awkward at first, but I knew all things were possible through God. Hope unseen is believing He can do something when I couldn't.
Thank you, Lord....for doing that thing you do again.
