Challenge

Dear Friends,
    I challenge you to do the same thing I am challenging myself to do. Despite the difficulty, I stuck pictures in to the challenge so perhaps it will look more inviting. I feel like if I could get really good at these traits, I would be a much better friend.



Be Reliable

Try not to be the kind of friend that is too busy to spend time with her friends. Make sure you are there for her when she needs you. When she is with you, try to make her feel safe. No matter what happens, she'll know you are the friend she can rely on.

Dare to be Bold
Be willing to stand alone.Do what is right even when no one else will.









But Don't be Stupid
God gave you a brain. Use it. Don't get so caught up in yourself that you think you are invincible. Remember, other people will be looking at you and mimicking what you do.










Be Compassionate
Even when your friend doesn't make sense. Even when she has made stupid decisions that you warned her not to do, still be compassionate. Don't be prideful and think of yourself as better. We all make mistakes. We all go through hard times. Comfort your friend and let her not get overcome with depressing thoughts. Remind her to focus her eyes on God.







Be Encouraging
When your friend is successful, tell her what a great job she did. We all could use more people who compliment and encourage.
