My best friend during the best years of my life
I recently opened up about losing my best friend Armani to someone who knows very little about me. She asked me, did you know him for a long time?
I paused, thought about it, and mustered out, "No, but he was my best friend during the best years of my life.”
When memories were being made, when fun was the norm, when the stresses of life were obsolete. At least, that’s the way it felt when I was around him.

Help me spend more time with you Lord
I use to spend my mornings and night with you. I use to drive away from the house looking forward to keeping you in my life as the day progressed. I use to find any excuse to get in your word. I use to schedule my days around your word. I am doubting my future, fearful of the economic downturns, and questioning what you are doing to me in this season.
You are doing so much behind the scenes but all that’s in front of me is a tainted fleshly perspective. My faith is wavering. My fear is elevating. I am prioritizing so much that moves me further away from you. I try to control the thing only you can control. I have so much to do but feel like I have nothing to do at all. I’m not the person I preach about. I fall short every time of the Guy I tell you all to follow. I want to be a spiritual leader but I’m still working on myself as a follower of the one we call Christ.
