[Circumstances]

What drives you? Circumstances or relationship?

Does it not matter the 'who' but the 'where' instead? Do you like being 'out' & having a 'good time' (to be defined later) so much that you rarely consider who'll you'll be with - whether it's good company or bad company. It's just about the concert, show, movie or BBQ that seems fun & of course...you love fun and will get along with whoever. Or even do you love being 'home' so much that no mater how wonderful the the people are, the activity of 'leaving home' drives you to keep from the people. Leaving 'home' doesn't seem 'fun' so you don't go spend time with your brothers & sisters in Christ, or serve your community or even see your family.

Yet there is another option to having the 'circumstance' of being out or in driving your decisions... you can take into consideration the people - the relationships when making your decision. Bad company really does corrupt good morals. And being around Godly community really is fundamental for these journey's God calls us to. Letting the community you will be around play a bigger role in your decision of what to do (of course taking responsibilities into consideration as well -house work, etc) will lead you to much better circumstances that in turn lead you to true joy. Being encouraged by fellow believers, or serving those less fortunate, or enjoying an activity that doesn't leave you feeling guilty, or having friends your proud to know and have know will lead you to longer lasting joy that letting 'out' or 'in' circumstance driven decisions be your guide. Still a thought in process...just pondering...
