Life.
I have been talking with and listening to some good friends of mine; its seems as though we are in agreement on one thing: change is needed. A change is needed. A change is needed. Get the point?
Change looks different for everyone, including my friends and I. Maybe the change is new scenery, new/other friends, new house, new outlook on life, etc. For me, the change is a combination of things: scenery and outlook.
SCENERY:
I need to go places and do things. I have been in this town for at least ten years, which, by most standards, is not a long time. I agree, it has not been a long time and I have incredible memories here…life-changing memories here. I have become comfortable in my surroundings…
OUTLOOK:
My life view has changed. I have, as has been mentioned in a previous post, become a husband. I can no longer look at life as mine, it has become ours…ours is a beautiful mixture of hers and mine…it is very beautiful. We have not made any actual decisions on our future, but we have made the decision to be open to anything that may come our way. We know that we want to be used of God in some way…we do not really care in what way, just as long as we are used.
The point of all this is that life is changing for me and for my wife. We have been so blessed by our families and our friends; we do not have the words to even thank them enough for all of the wonderful and great times that we have had with them. The cool thing is that some of our closest friends have these feelings as well; life is changing, comfort is no longer an option.
In an “un-related” note…
I started to read some of Thoreau’s work and was pleasantly awed by his writing on friendship. That happened Thursday and Friday. On Saturday I was able to spend time with my wife and some really good friends. On Sunday, at church, the message was about true friendship; a friend that sticks closer than a brother…I have those. Thanks.
