Good morning

It's hardly 6 in the morning and I am awake. I should be on my way to work, but here I am trying to make my thoughts fit. I had a great experience a few days ago, and I still feel the taste of it. It's something about friendship. And about what makes it last. I've heard opinions about this subject but most of them seemed to me very objective. I think friendship is something you are involved in with heart and soul. It is not based on how many times you've had fun with a person, nor the fact that you feel good when that person is around. It is not a feeling nor a mood. Friendship is based on a strong determination and life-long motivation. It means to stand by your friend when she/he needs the most. Like a warm and trusty shoulder in a cold winter weather. Right in the middle of the street. It means to love unconditionally even when she/he does not deserve.
I have a best friend. But our story does not begin with a white night spent together or with "things we have in common". We didn't make a list of the "things we like most" or "people we hate". My first conversation with her was about our common Friend. Jesus. And what He has done for each of us. I know that our relationship is based on Him. And I do not live with the fear that one day she will be taken from me (except when she will go Home), because I know that this kind of relationship is one of a life time.

T.F.

They say it does not exist. That it's just a myth. That it's just a fairy tale. How come I feel it every day? How come it changed me so much?...Fairy tales does not change life! How come this one does?...

The bridge

It is said that on his way to conquer the world, Alexandru Macedon passed through a lot of countries. Every time he crossed a bridge, he would turn back and tear it to the ground. This way his army knew there is no turning back. There was only ahead.They knew their purpose and desire was laying ahead. This was their catchword:"No turning back"...They had this oath before enrolling the army, and they would give their last breath for their country and goal. Even if they knew their families and friends and life was back there, they had no change to get there. They've given up everything for that one goal. Everything.
I think it is the same in a christian life. You have to break down every little bridge that keeps you in touch with your past. Once you've known Jesus and what He has done for you, you no longer belong to your past. That includes your acts, words, vice or sin." You are no longer a slave of your sin". "They will know the Truth and the Truth will give them freedom".
If there's any bridge that keeps you turning back every time, maybe it's time you should do something about it. You should know where are you heading.You shouldn't let anything to get in your way,in your way to Christ. Everyday is a battlefield. A battle which should be brought down to your knees. That's the place where the end of your daily battle is written. Either you win it, or lose it... The more bridges you let behind, the harder will be for you to advance. Tear that bridges down!

what if?...

I was listening to this video, and an idea popped into my head: what if there would be a site where all can write and share their life stories?... Something like facebook, but with another purpose. A site on which people can share their life experiences, their stories. It would be like talking to an old friend. You could get help or advice, you can read others people stories, you can find true friends with whom you can talk, or laugh or cry. It would be like a huge mailbox. I used to keep in touch with my friends through letters for a while. I was telling them about my student life and about the changes that have marked my life. For so long this way of expressing myself have helped me, which is why I'm writing even now. Some stories have really marked me, have impressed me and motivated me to go on with my life. I think that if ever, this idea would take root in someones hands, it would be a great opportunity for everybody to realize that they're not alone. Your life can influence mine and so on...
Listening to people's life stories, have made me realize I'm not the only one with problems. But much more important, listening to their problems and trying to help or to encourage others, have made my problems seem too small to give them any attention. It made me realize I'm truly blessed. I think that if we could make time to listen to the ones who need to be listened , we will change our life and much more. We could start living as a huge community, where everyone is important and everyone is helped...
It's a really nice dream, isn't it?
