people need people. it was built in us from the beginning. there is something in us that can only be filled by people. when we don't have people something breaks down, something doesn't sit well with us. sometimes we don't fill it with the right mix or try and subsitute the acceptance of people instead of people themselves and we end up in a race of trying to fix it with anything other than people.
when you realize that the only way to fill the hole of people is to be real, genuine and vulnerable that adds a lot of risk to the equation. and what i don't get though is that people hurt. a lot. people hurt people even when they don't realize it. we made to live in community. to live for other people. to give ourselves away on behalf of those around us. but, even if it hurts?
somewhere in this whole mix Jesus fits, but that is where i'm missing out. i just don't know where to find Him in all of this. it is like this: we were made for Jesus but we were also made for community. people. but if we run after people we will miss Jesus and if we run after Jesus we have to trust that He is going to provide people. that is where i'm at. i like people. i used to not but i do now. so i'm trying to follow Jesus and find people along the way.
please give me your thoughts. i truly would like them.

It is an amazing thing that you like people, I thought that day would never come. You have grown up so much in your thoughts. You are definitely not the same Marcus that left Baytown. Not that my thoughts are right but I think you should trust Jesus and he will guide you to the people that you need or want in your life. People are not perfect, that is why there is a lot of hurt and from past expereience I can't always trust people to be there 100% but I know I can trust Jesus because he is perfect and there is no fault to him. No matter what, he won't leave when the going gets rough but people might. I used to beleive that you would meet people and they be in your life forever but that isn't true and that is okay but Jesus will always be in your life and he will provide the things you need, including people.
