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.
