Life Happens

So, in light of recent events, I have realized that I have been in denial. God puts people in our lives for a specific purpose. We may not know what that reason is, but He does. And we must trust in that when He makes choices. Within the past week I may have officially lost a very close friend of three years. It has been a downhill spiral for the last six months, and we both knew the end was nearing. Neither one of us so willing to accept it despite the multitude of arguments over pathetic incidents, at least thats how I see it. After much needed prayer and thought, I have come to realize that God has chosen a different path for our friendship and I need to let go of the wheel and let Him take charge. I am hoping that our paths do meet together again, it's one friendship tat I never wanted to see end. This has lifted a burden off of my shoulders and opened new doors for improvement on my side and hers. That doesn't mean that she was a burden, it means the situation was and it made everything harder. Though we agreed that we need to take a break, sort through our own lives and only send an occasional text and have a conversation, it doesn't make this any easier. Loosing friends is very difficult. I have come to see that not all friendships will be lifelong. And when one comes to an end, through the next door will come another. This is a lesson learned and I will have for the rest of my life.
