Everyday, God is teaching me how precious my time here on Earth is and sometimes I really spend it the wrong way. I spend it drinking or gossiping or running away from my problems, not good, my friends. God is teaching me so much about goodbyes lately and it's been difficult. I don't want to say goodbye to these relationships I've made in Yellowstone. I didn't want to say goodbye to my friends in Eau Claire, either. I also didn't want to say goodbye to my cat a couple weeks ago. I think this has honestly been a year of goodbyes and I have been such a stinker about it. When I have to say goodbye to something I get angry and upset and cry a lot. This week has been one of those weeks. I've locked myself in my room for most of the goodbyes I was supposed to endure, simply because I don't want to get sad, I'd rather be angry. I feel like an instinct for a lot of people, when having to say goodbye, is to be upset and angry, or even blame God for it. Lately, that's been me and boy am I ashamed. This year I've said goodbye to some of my best friends who will be moving on with their life after they graduated last spring. Now, I have to say goodbye to all of the people I have lived with for the past 3 months in Yellowstone where I have adventured more than I ever thought possible. It really sucks! I've been a big stink about it too and I don't want to be. I will be leaving this beautiful place in one week and there are so many things I still have yet to do. I think God is clearly calling me into a big adventure with these people before I leave. I think having all of these goodbyes this year has taught me that I've made these friendship for a reason and they don't have to end because people move away. Although it stinks that my best of friends are now going to be halfway across the country or in a different one it doesn't mean I can give up on our friendship just like that. So, I encourage you all to dive deep into the friendships you have because when they leave they don't have to end.
Lately life has been throwing hard things at me. Like getting a call that your grandma has cancer or breaking your phone almost falling off a cliff. Yeah, it's been a rough 3 weeks for me. I have been stressed about school and life in general. When you adore people that live 30 hours away from you or you fail a test that is a test you need to pass for graduation in the spring. I have been thrown some curve balls lately and it scares the crap out of me but I know my God will provide. As much as I have been stressed or crazy lately I know the Lord is near and that is really comforting in this time. I also have my friends, who have been super supportive of my craziness. So, thank the Lord each day for what you have because sometimes these curve balls take us on new journeys worth going on. Peace.
