stepping back

this past weekend pastor matt said something that really hit me. it was how no matter what people said (his pastor, dad, friends, whoever) it wasnt until he decided he wanted to change that the change actually occurred. i have had several friends who are like that. friends who are making unwise choices but i cant change their mind. this is huge to me because i hate seeing my friends fall. but there comes a point where you have to step back and just pray for and encourage them to make the right decisions. there is nothing more you can do.
until they decide that they want to change and do better--they wont do it. so as hard as it may be to just watch sometimes theres nothing more you can do. just pray and know that God has something in store.

later ya'll
