Differences...

The other day I had to write a 500 word essay about an interview I had with someone who is different from me in four ways. I choose to “interview” one of my best friends, Miguel, seeing that I didn’t read the assignment till the night before it was due I didn’t exactly interview him. I more along the lines of guessimated what Miguel would say, but it got me thinking about how different Miguel and I truly are but what great friends we are. Miguel, Eric, Frankie, Kyle, and Eamon are 5 boys who mean the world to me, but I really started to realize how different I truly am from ALL of them. Why is that people who are different get along so well? I think it is again all in God’s plan. I know God blessed me with these boys for a reason, yes they all at some point have driven me crazy but my life would be nothing without them. They complete me. I know how cliché is that? But it is true, without them I would not be where I am today from just me in general to my relationship with Christ to just the way I take on each day, they have taught me more than I could have ever expected, they are my BEST friends. Within each of those 5 boys is a heart of gold. They all have their own ways of showing that. Kyle, the soon to be preacher/missionary, will text me every day and somehow we end up talking about how we can pray for each other that day, I love it. Miguel, sometimes we bicker and fight but in the end he is always the one telling me I can do anything I set my mind too. Eric, the sweetheart, tells me every day that he loves me and misses me and can’t wait for me to come home. Frankie, music man, this boy always has a new song to show me and a new hug to give me. Eamon, my personal advice column, I sometimes will just text him a question to get his opinion and it gives me an opportunity to talk it out with someone. These boys all have something to offer to my own personality they are sweet, sincere, and very cute! Again they complete me. So take a moment and think about the people in your daily life and see how different you truly are from them because together you make a whole. I am different from each of these boys in a different way and they have helped me become the person I am today. How are you different from the people you love?
