Everything Happens for a Reason

"Don’t be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before we can meet again and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are friends."

Finding a way to start this blog was REALLY hard.  There's just soo much bouncing though my head right now.  So, about an hour ago I found out that my small group leader/one of my really good friends is moving in less than a month.  I kind of saw this coming, but nothing can really prepare you for the actual moment.  I would be lying if I said that I was totally fine when I found out; actually, in all honesty I was pretty much a mess, but I can't let any of this get me down.  I KNOW that God has some pretty amazing things planned that are going to come out of this, now if only I knew what they were...

Having moved 3 times in my life, I can understand both sides.  Moving somewhere where you know no one is scary to say the least, but when you let God take control, everything works out.  Yes, this is technically a "goodbye", but with every goodbye comes another reunion, and I can pretty much guarantee that there are some crazy reunions in the future.  

Alyssa, you've made a huge difference in my life and other people's lives as well.  It sucks that Fresno's losing you guys, but Paso Robles is pretty lucky!!  I know some pretty cool things are waiting for you there, but don't forget about all yours girls here!!  You're going to be seriously missed, but it's not like you're gone forever, right?  Love you like crazy, and I can't wait to see what God has planned.
