God works in mysterious ways... this we all know. He has placed some very amazing people in my life... and they are always there for a reason. A lot of people have come and gone from my life. I use to think that when they left it was God saying that they served their purpose, their time with me has ended. There are people you always want in your life but the connection fades away (mainly b/c it's hard to keep in touch if they dont respond) :p So many people would be in my life one year and gone the next. but lately they have been coming back. :) Some from 8 years ago and I'm just blown away by the grace of God. b/c even though people may not be in your life, it doesn't mean i forget them... and it definitely doesn't mean I stop loving them or having them mean something. So i am very thankful for the opportunties to reconnect with friends from the past and also to see some I haven't seen in a long time.
I am very excited that Anna is home and I get to see her in January. She has been an amazing Pen Pal for the last 8 years and God has definitely used her to touch my life and so many others. I'm thankful that I can be in touch with Christine and Cat after such a long absence. It makes my heart so happy and I'm excited to see them in the near future. I'm glad Katie is coming home after a year and a half. It is going to be so good to see her again.
We go through a lot in life, but God always places people in it that we need. :)
