Question

Dear Lizzy,

My best friend just moved away. I met a really cool new girl, too. All my friends keep saying that she's the perfect replacement. She's very nice and a great new friend, but she can't replace my old best friend. Can you please help me get over my friend problem?????

Love, Friend Mishap

 

Answer

Dear Friend Mishap,

When BFF's move away, it's never easy. Life keeps going even though they aren't standing by our side. But, it is so awesome that God has given you another amazing friend! Of course this new friend doesn't replace your old friend, and it is silly for your other friends to say that. Even though your BFF might not live nearby, there are still plenty of ways to stay in contact – calling, texting, mailing, emailing, etc. Keep that friendship strong, but also thank God for the new friend He brought into your life! Instead of seeing your situation as a problem, see it as a blessing.

Love Kate
