Change

As I stare at the computer, beginning to write what will be a "post of change," I reflect on so many things in my life. First, I have been OVERLY blessed with people in my life. From birth, I was given an amazing family, not one without flaws, but one that is real, solid, loving and there for you. Then I have had TONS of amazing friends in my life. I joined facebook this week and am flooded with old friendships and am almost brought to tears when I think about how many people have shared this life with me in some way. One is even coming into town next week, and we are going to get together! I haven't seen him in 20 years! YIKES! I sound like my parents!

That brings me to my next item. My parents, who have always been here, are moving to Washington DC. I have been ok with it until recently. I guess you don't realize how much someone/people mean to you until they are taken away, move, or aren't in your everyday anymore. I realize how much I miss my friends when I see them on facebook and now I am going to be missing my mom especially! She is in my everyday right now and soon she won't be. Change is good, or so they say. Change is scary too. I know it is all for good, but sometimes that little lump in your throat serves as a reminder that we are all here for a brief time. Some people come into our lives, serve a purpose and move on. That is all good. But then there are times when the change doesn't seem to fit the plan you had. That is where "trusting Him" comes in. In time, it will all look as it is supposed to. We will surely have amazing field trips in D.C. when we go visit, but it really is hard to imagine my everyday.
