It is amazing what a bit of good singing and praying will do for your soul. I was not in the mood for church tonight at all. In fact, I barely slid in the door before the service started and I know several of my friends thought I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But from the first song until the last hug, I was encouraged.

Wednesday, February 5th, 2003Sometimes friends just walk away. I would appreciate knowing the reason but Iām slowly realizing that I have to suck it up and move on. Other times it feels like circumstances are ripping you apart.
I miss you more.

Monday, February 3rd, 2003Do you know what it feels like to have someone in your life that you are used to talking to throughout the day? I have several friends like that and I’m quite thankful that God has given me such blessings. Each of us goes through exceptionally hard times and we often need to hide away just to gather out thoughts again. Some of you have been there no matter my fussing and ranting. I pray that God will bless you richly for your faithfulness and heartfelt concern. Occasionally seasons of our lives fall upon us that make absolutely no sense. I posted about the desire to run earlierā¦and that is often our genuine reaction. Iām indebted to those who have stuck it out with me.
One specific friendship felt richer than gold, brighter than the rising sun and more refreshing than cold water on a scorching day. And then suddenly without any warning this person just walked away. You would think there would be warning signs. There were none. One day all was well and the nextā¦everything was over. There were news reports of a plane crash in a neighborhood of this personās townā¦I was unnecessarily frantic. My phone calls have been ignored, emails ignored…etc. I haven’t heard anything from them. Days have went by. Nothing. I see evidence of this person being online all over the place, commenting on other sites, writing, etc. However, they have chosen to simply leave my life. Iām to the point now where I have buried any promises previously made. No longer will I be vulnerable.
