twenty something.

it's a fun stage in life.
twenty something.

we are all searching for a bit of stability...but enjoying the freedom that lies within. we get involved in relationships and think our lives are headed in one direction...but, alas those relationships end and we find ourselves at the same place we were a few months prior. unstable...many options open...decisions to be made...

it's a fun stage in life.
twenty something.

but it's difficult as friends you once so closely aligned w/ begin to distance themselves. just..b/c of life circumstances. or...b/c they are in a relationship which is out of your reach. something special is captured b/t two people...and you're that third person. what a bummer. that's hard.

but, there is my selfishness tied up in that....i see it. but, i also just see a bit of mourning for growing up and loosing the specialness of certain relationships.

so...i do enjoy this time period in my life...but it's not void of heartache. it's true i don't have much responsibility...no family, kids, marriage...but the heartache and difficulties take a different form. perhaps how i deal w/ these heartaches and difficulties now will help me deal rightly w/ different circumstances in the future.

oh...help me God to walk through these times w/ humility...w/ Christ likeness....w/ a love for others and for you.

growing pains....always there but may look different.
thanks for maturing us...may i not back down from the hard things...but seek to obey and allow the spirit to work in my heart.

oh...awaken my heart for a deep deep love for others! for my friends and for those i have yet to interact w/.
