It's midnight and I'm sitting down alone (well, with Andy asleep beside me) for the first time ALL day. This one is gonna be short and sweet.
There are a number high school friends in my life that have walked away over the years. I used to get so upset when this happened. I would blame myself, text them over and over -sometimes even cry because losing friendships can be really hard. I have recently come to understand that I didn't trust God as much as I thought. I was good with biggies like death and car accidents and selling my house... but relationships? Nope. I trusted myself, not God.
Just over the last six months I'm starting to learn to let go when people walk away. I'll pursue for a time, but eventually I need to hand it over and trust God for that friendship instead of relying on myself. It has been like a weigh lifted. It is never easy to watch my YL friends go, but it hurts a little less knowing that I'm entrusting them to their Creator.
