Flawed

I don't know about you, but I have found that my greatest assets are also my greatest flaws. Like, the things that make me strong are also the things that make me weak. For example, my compassion can make me a doormat. I love relationships, but sometimes I desire more than I can have. I want to go the extra mile, but I don't always know how far is too far. 

I heard somebody say once that you love a person not because of their good qualities, but because of their flaws. I

sorta understand what they're talking about, but really it doesn't make much sense. If you love them because their good

qualities are their downfalls (like mine) then I get it, but obviously you're not going to love someone because they are a

compulsive liar or a cheat.

The thing is, we are all born flawed. That's why we need Jesus. He makes our flaws into beauty marks :) haha. 

Anyways, today was good. Busy and good. I got to hang out with a friend I don't know very well, which was nice. I hope 

that I can continue to hang out with her in the future. At first I thought she was a little reserved, but I think that a 

good relationship with her will take time, and then there will be more openness. This I have learned from experience. 

I went outside and watched the end of the meteor shower. There was one perfect falling star; it streaked right over my 

house and lasted a good five seconds. Usually they're so short that you only have time to see them dance for a second

before the black swallows them up again. "When I look at the stars I feel like myself." --Switchfoot

Tomorrow is the Epic part and our Christmas party at Joe's house! I'm excited :). It should be interesting now that our

friendships have turned to relationships and we are all wary of each other...
