I’ve been thinking about relationships. About how you form so many of them in the course of life… and how eventually, there are very few that remain. Over the years I’ve seen people that I thought would be around forever are not around anymore. Either I left or they did.
I thought that maybe I understood why but honestly I dont.
I want all of them back. I want things the way it used to be.
maybe that’s my problem… I live in the past most of the time.
its hard to move on. I hold on to the familiar, the usual, the common, the known. I don’t like stepping out into unfamiliar waters. I can walk into a restaurant every day for a year and order the exact same thing. Every single day. I dont like experimenting with food.
I dont like experimenting with relationships.
I just want everything to be … normal.. again. Whatever that means.

Wow, thoughtful post. I’m the same way. Latley I’ve been realizing that friends come and go. A girl that was my best friend when I was little, I haven’t talked to in years. And something just recently happened with my friends and has made it harder. The thing you have to remember is that God is ALWAYS there, even when nobody else is, and friends leave or move on. “Deu 31:8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Love ya! Hang in there! We all go through things like this.
Hmmmmmmm….. You’ve got me! I mean who would have thought after everything that we would be back here?! So maybe sometimes its not a bad thing to want things from the past! But sometimes (more often than not) you have to let go….
P.S: I love you
Hi Christine,
Some of your blogs makes no sense, very random… but this one captured my attention. You are right relationships doesnt last forever, no matter how much you want it to. God brings people together for a short time, since He has different plans for each of our lives our pathways become different. But the beauty of it is, few years down the road when you meet your friends you’ll be amazed to know how God brought them this far. So always be happy because new friends are encouragement to our lives and while old friends become a shoulder to lean on.
Jen- God is ALWAYS there! I’m so grateful for that. Even when I don’t really “deserve” his love.. He loves anyway.
Sheila- You n me.. that was definitely an answer to prayer. We’ve had some rough times havent we..
Susan- hi! Thank you for your thoughts. meeting old friends after a while is an encouragement.. I’m just being selfish I guess.
