I think one of the biggest blessings I have been given is making friends who become family. Most of my "family" lives in Searcy at the moment, and I am blessed to get to be here to visit for a few days. Part of that family is getting ready to make the move overseas to China. While I am excited, I am a little jealous. It's hard to be the one not leaving anymore. I've always been the leaver..
Getting to be with my "family" while my family lives so far away is just comforting. God has given me love, comfort, and strength through these people. He builds our relationships in HIM and it's amazing to have this bond. I know that for the rest of my life I will have them around. No matter how much life changes, who marrys into our family, or is born into it.. we will always have each other. Only God is responsible for bringing us all together.
I took down my Christmas decorations because they were bumming me out. I love Christmas so much, and am not looking forward to spending it alone this year. It's part of life, but still lonely. My sister has her family, my bro has his g/f and family.. I'm really looking forward to next year when there is a baby around. Babies bring families together!
Well, one week and 2 days will Christmas... Merrie Christmas and Happy Holidays!
