i need you bad.

don't ever assume that your friend is ok.
don't ever assume that your friend is not hurting.
don't ever assume that your friend doesn't need anything.

because you just never know.
you never know what is really going on behind that smile.
you never know the pain they might be feeling even though they don't show it.
you just never know.

we need each other!

i need you.
i need you to build me up.
i need you to tell me it's ok, and i can keep going strong.
i need you to remind me of who i am in Christ.
i need you to let me know when i am doing something that i shouldn't be doing.
i need you to be a faithful, trustworthy friend.
i need you.

and you need me!
you need me to be there for you no matter what.
you need me to pray for you.
you need me to make you laugh.
you need me to talk good about you behind your back.
you need me to be your friend.

and that is what i want to be.
that's the way God designed it...
for us to encourage and build each other up!

take the time today to ask your friends if they need prayer.
take a minute to write an email, send a text, make a phone call...
and just tell your friend what you love about them.

because we all need each other.
and we can all make a difference if we just take a minute...
don't assume we aren't needed.
and make someone feel special.

i'm starting now. when are you starting?

and just because i will never get sick of eyelash shots, i will assume you won't either.
ha! here are my 2 boys and one of my nephews.
