Tis the season for so many transitions. May and August are quite the months when living a single college life. It is when large groups of people take big new steps in their lives and when we all strive to make any adjustments necessary to assure a brighter future. It's exciting, it's refreshing, yet at times it can be emotional.
This May a handful of really special amazing people are taking off on adventures! I'm excited and inspired by them. Something I've noticed however, is that this is giving me the silliest sense of abandonment. Clearly, that is an exaggerated and dramatic way to express my sadness but it gets the point across. I become attached to people easily. I depend on the friendships I build, probably a little too much. I don't have a husband or children to dote on or shower with attention and affection so these friendships fill the gap. As logic would have it these relationships come and go as life goes on. As I tried to process my feelings about the seemingly major changes in my social circle the video posted above came to mind. I was reminded of the only relationship that needs to define who I am. Earthly relationships are so super important but should never out weigh or over shadow the only relationship that truly matters in the end.
Off I go with my head up, confident that God will place wonderful people in my path, and help me maintain the relationships I love so dearly, near and far. He always gives me the best. Anyways, know that I love and value you and God does even more! Have a great week!
