seasons

Friendships are like seasons, they come and they go. But there are some friends that stay, and I have to say I couldn't be more grateful for them in my life, honestly.

But I find it so interesting that when you thought some friendships may be over for the long haul. That maybe they were no longer meant to be in your life. That their friendship was hurting you more than it was helping you, so it was time to call it quits. Well I find it funny that the Lord has a way of putting those people back in your life. Just at a different time, a different season.

I know that with some of these friends, we may never be what we used to be due to our different life paths. But we used to be inseparable, we used to tell each other everything, we used to call each others moms mom. Those types of things were all gone with the blink of an eye. Sometimes we think maturity needs to take place, sometimes you feel as if things are toxic, and sometimes too much time is being asked of you. But I love the fact that old friendships never really seem to fade. The love and desire to stay close and share those pieces of your heart will always be there and stay with you.

Some wise family friends once told me that when you get somewhere new that you will truly only have one set of forever friends, you just have to search for them, think about it and decide if this is who the Lord wants you to share your family with. It has been on my heart lately so much, and it couldn't ring more true. Each new season of your life brings new friends and new forever friends.

All the friends we have now, have been apart of our life just at different seasons. It's like each set of friends is connect the dots but connect the dots of our lives. When you look back you see that each set of friends is part of a new season and I couldn't be more grateful for those people that have been apart of all of the seasons of my life, and for those that are apart of this season.

Praise God for awesome friends, and for those that are coming back around.
