Wanted: A real friend
I just finished reading my friend's blog and I totally agree. We are relational people who long for good friends; those we can trust, be real with, find support and guidance, and tackle tough issues with. You would think that a Christian community would be the place to find a friend or two like that. Yet in my year and half here at Taylor, I have struggled to find someone to be real around. Now I have good friends, but not any really close ones.
A possible reason I see is that we are afraid of being judged; that others may not see us as "as good of a Christian" or "not as Godly". It is sad if this is true. Yet, I do not know what the reason is. I'm just confused as to why at this school, known for its great student community, am I not able to find someone I can trust and be real with.
"Two are better than one...If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up." ~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

I felt that way too at Taylor. I always felt like people were judging me, although I've been told that I'm being overly sensitive, which can definitely be the case. Another reason is because I think people at Taylor are very busy. I've sometimes felt that my friends "work me into" their schedule. But I have made a few close friends that I think I'll have for a long time. And there's always homecoming. :-)
