To The Girl Who's Fighting With Her Best Friend

I’ve seen so many times where friends chose to walk away instead of fight for their friendship. They refused to forgive and in turn missed out on allowing God to redeem them and their circumstances. I know I’ve been through that with a few of my friends in the past. But I’m so happy to say that in this particular circumstance with me and Melanie, that just wasn’t the case.

I can trace so many blessings and wonderful memories back to my friendship with Mel. My life would have turned out so differently had I not only met Melanie, but also if we had not humbled ourselves so that God could redeem our friendship.
