I had one of those days yesterday. I have been using my mom's car for the last 6 or 7 months because I got into an accident about a year ago and just don't have the means to get a car of my own, yet. As I was driving to work the transmission on the van gave out. Add to this I really wanted to be at the school to work with that friend of mine and get her to graduation, I had a hard deadline for materials I need to make for a workshop this Saturday, I have deadlines past for materials needed for a summer event our church's youth are sponsoring, I need to plan a service to be done in 3 weeks, and just a little more. Oh, and I still have a paper to write on the theology of the Apostle Paul.
Once again the things I need to do have surpassed my ability to keep up with those things. Or so I thought. I decided not to go into the high school because in all honesty I wouldn't have gotten there with enough time to really do anything, so I just went straight to my church. I checked in, talked a little with others, went into one of our pastor's office, briefly told him about where I was spiritually, and got invited to have a seat and talk.
It was good to have someone I could just pour out my frustrations to. It was good to just have someone sit and listen and not judge. It was good to have a friend. The rest of my day went fine. I was able to organize the things I need to get done and check a lot off my list. All because I had a friend who took the time to simply sit and listen and share in my life.
Jesus tells us in John 15:9-17 that there is nothing better than true friendship. I agree.
