You Find Out Who Your Friends Are.......

If you haven't heard this song, here's the words........

Artist/Band: Tracy Lawrence
Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor need a couch need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

{Chorus}
You find out who you're friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who you're friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

You find out who you're friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who you're friends are

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there

You find out who you're friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who you're friends are

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Man I've been there

Get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor need a couch need a bus fare
Man, I've been there...
I've been there.

I shared that song with Lois (Captain) about a week or so ago, and she thought it was awesome. I never thought I would actually live those words..

She's going through a VERY difficult time right now. I'm not at liberty to go into details here, but let's just say, she called me up at 1:30 Monday morning needing a shoulder to cry on, and I drove up (in my pajamas even) just to be there for her. She's been cutting herself, and she has even talked to me about suicide. She has cried on my shoulder almost every night this week, and I am constantly telling her that I'll always be here for her. I've told her that I'm available 24/7 if she needs me. She says that she's lost everything, but I am quick to assure her that she can't lose me.
I am gradually leading her to the Lord, and I invited her to church tomorrow, and she said she might take me up on it. Please just keep her in your prayers, and pray that the Lord will give me the wisdom to help her through this.
