single and waiting

Life in the single lane, is something most people experience at some point in their life. This is just my personal experience, that I thought I'd share with you all. Isaiah 40:31 "Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weak"

Saying goodbye

hey all you bloggers out there!

Ever hurt yourself saying goodbye to someone?

Saying goodbye ain’t always easy…in fact, it can be one of the hardest things to do. I have recently said goodbye to two dear friends of mine, both of whom, I don’t know when I’ll next see. Bummer right? I’m not the best at leaving something behind, and saying goodbye to someone I don’t know that I’ll ever see again. I am no expert. But here are a few pointers.

1. Always plan a goodbye, especially if you know a few days in advance. Prepare yourself, because (if it involves a girl) there could be high emotions.
2. Try not leave anyone out. It’s important if you leaving for a time, to say goodbye to everyone, because you don’t know when/if you will see that person again.
3. DON’T make plans to say goodbye then cancel…that happens too often to me and it makes you feel horrible.

I made my friend a scrap book before she left. I miss her. She’s only been gone a few days. I never got to say bye to her the first time she left…she cancelled on me for her boyfriend. Great eh? But spending time with her this past week, had made me miss her all over again…and the scrap book reminded me of all the fun times we had together. I guess you don’t really know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

Life is funny that way. you walk in and out of peoples lives and take so many things for granted. But when you lose someone, or things change for one reason or another, you begin to see what people around you really do for you. Whether that be, you miss them dropping you off at work, or making your dinner for you….or doing the more important things like…being a support for you when things fall, or being there to encourage you when you need it. These are the things you miss most.
Often you don’t realise it until it’s too late. So people…take a good look at your friends and family and see what they do for you. Begin to appreciate them now and don’t forget to tell them how much they mean to you. Tell them you love them all the time…because you never know when you’ll not be able to say that to them again


peace
