Today was one of those days that turns out totally different then you expected. I went in to it expecting to be hanging out with a huge group all day, andI ended up being with a couple of people all day. Not that there is anything wrong with small groups. Actually, part of it was nice because I got to hang out with a friend of mine who got saved this week. It was encouraging to see how much she has changed. Along this same line, the same girl has shown me how important it is to watch what I do and say. She is a year younger then me and very impressionable. She is beginning to copy some things that I do. Which is very sobering. It scares me alot. Okay, so that wasn't where I was intending to go with this post. What I was originally heading for was that I learned how easy it is to exclude people from things. Not that anyone was excluding me. I actually left the group at the beginning, but I felt very left out when I finally found them later. I'm not saying that anyone did the wrong thing, it's just very easy to forget about people when they aren't there. So this is kinda a challenge for those of you who hang out with me at school. There are some girls that hang out with us and eat lunch with us every day, and yet they never feel totally included, especially by the guys in the group. I don't tend to think of our group as "cliquish," but often we only hang out with the people that we know well or are comfortable with. That's not right. I just wanted to challenge you to try to include everyone.
