It won't be long before they will continue on with the next stage in life and that they will find new friends or rather be closer friends with people of similiar status and I will fade away from their memory. This has already happened before and have been severely affected by that. So to minimise the damage this time round, I will treat it like the fact that all of this, the fun times and doing life together, is something that will end soon. To get as much out of the experience as possible, ready to pack my bags and find another group of friends that I can share my past experiences with them and to gather new ones.
I guess you can say that the wandering spirit has started to settle in me and the desire to move becomes ever more stronger. The desire to move to different areas from all aspects of life, starting from the place of receiving spiritual nourishment all the way to the physical location. Wherever the Lord leads I will follow.
Interestingly enough, last Sunday's sermon spoke of almost exactly the thing that I needed assurance of. That was the start of a new series my church is starting which is on promises, specifically the promises that God has made for his people. It started with the promise that God will provide. It as though God was reassuring me that He will provide my needs despite the many "why"s that I have. One of the key points of the sermon was to be thankful for the things that I have received and I am thankful for these friendships. And when the road splits and I continue down the path that I am now while friends go on with their lives down another path, I am thankful for them.
I will just need to be prepared for when that day comes, not to be too tied down and to learn to let go.
