People change. Things happen. We grow up and apart. What remains is those people who care enough about you to invest the time in you and maintain a relationship. New relationships are cultivated and old ones slip away at times. I have been overwhelmingly blessed with wonderful friends, family, and friends who have become family in my life. As many people know, I have an incredibly hard time letting go. Although in my heart I know it may be time to move on and let someone else do their own thing, it is difficult for me to do the actual moving on part. But God.
God has continued to show me what good friends are and who He has placed in my life for very specific reasons. Friends are sometimes only for a certain season in your life, but that's how God meant for it to be. It's not that I have any hard feelings against any one particular person, it's just as we grow up, God has sent our lives in different directions, and that's okay. Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than any brother. Those people in my life that love me like Jesus does are some of the best examples of God in my life. They're the best friends I've ever had. God has a reason for everything, and He's certainly taught me, in many different ways this year, that I must trust His reasoning.
That being said, I am so thankful for the many new relationships I have cultivated this year and especially thankful for those I have strengthened. I look forward to 2014, making new memories and continuing these friendships, because without them, I'm not sure where I'd be!
So here we go 2014. It's going to be a wild and crazy ride. Here's to a lot of firsts, graduating from college, getting a job, and many other adulthood things I don't want to think about too much right now! :)
Until next time,
Reychel
