Crazy Blessed

I have been feeling like life is a little bittersweet right now. The thing is that I am pretty sure that i have the most amazing friends, more amazing than you would ever think possible. But the other thing is that over the last few months everyone has moved away from each other. And they are all doing the most amazing things, international and short term missions, seminary, entering the work force, getting married and so on. So i really cant be bummed, because i am so excited for all of them. Everything that comes to me is from the Lord's ordination or permission, and by the same cause sometimes leaves as well.

The Lord has blessed me greatly with people who have challenged me and help me grow, and i can be nothing but grateful to the Lord for them. I was not owed them, but in His mercy the Lord chose to bless me. But the beauty of the Body of Christ is some of that which i lacked, i learned from them and so the Lord has blessed me eternally because of them. . . even if they did move away. :)

so i guess the point of this post is another lesson - people are going to come and go, but it is by the will of the Lord which i trust in my soul, so praise God for them while they were here, and praise God for them for where they are going.

but you know you all better come visit me . . .:)
