i really want friends who believe in God, and im always jealous.. Options

[shesindreamland_...]

You know, I wish all my friends were Christian..and knew and loved God. I mean, right now my friends keep talking crap and hating this one girl who used to be friends with us, and theyre all like, Haha if she suicided i'd probably laugh. And all I can think is..shut UP youre nto supposed to HATE and gossip and act that way.. and i especially feel this way right now becuase ive been reading random people's xangas lately, and apparently this one guy had been in a serious accident and all of his friends, theyre all praying and saying stuff on each others xangas like, "Dont worry..hes in Gods hands.." and "God will hear every cry..just keep praying" and they even go to someones house everyday and just pray for the guy who had an accident. i mean.. to be praying with a group of best friends,getting close to God.. i WANT that feeling, you know? i dont even know why im still friends with some of the people im friends with, but it sjust that i have no one else.. Im Christian but I dont go to church cause my parents aren't, so its not like I get a ride or anything. And if barely any of my friends are Christian, its not like they can pick me up and take me since my parents cant. if i went to church then i would definitely have friends who believe in God and everything..but right now thats not really possible..

So yeah..ever feel this way..or something similar? and what should I do? =x

Ultimately it's your decision who you are friends with. You should go out and make more Christian friends or better friends in general.

But let me tell you something.
I went to a Christian school for a long time, and those girls who claimed to be Christian were just as snotty and mean as anyone else. A lot of people claim they are "christian" but keep God in a box and don't let him really in their life, you know? You gotta be careful who you are friends with in general. Whether they say they are christian or not. There are a lot of fake people out there, even in the church. Same goes for when you are dating. Not all christian guys are little angels, you know what i mean. Most of the christian guys i dated respected me even less then the non-christian guys. You just have to be careful.

I'm glad that you want to experience this with your friends and all, it's a good thing. Not a bad thing. I would urge you to try going to your youth group and finding friends there. Also, look up "acquire the fire" online, i think you would enjoy going there. It's where thousands of kids get together to praise God and support each other. Whole youth groups go together, so why don't you talk to yours and see if they go or would like to. And about getting to church, i would atleast ASK your parents, I mean you are kinda assuming that they won't be able to take you. Just ask them. If not, i'm sure you can get a ride from someone else.
