Well I came home for Mother's Day this weekend and got to see a lot of people. Some I enjoyed seeing, some I really enjoyed seeing, and others that I did not really enjoy seeing. With that said I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about the future and that lead to the thinking about the past. I started thinking about some things that took place before I moved to Orange Beach. It was very strange because a few months before I left I really started growing distant from most of my friends and did not have a clue why. A few of my very closest friends I think I grew the most distant from, while others not as distant. It seemed the people I cared for more than anybody else were the furthest away. Then I thought that it probably happended so that I could make the decision to take the position based only on what God wanted and not let anybody distract me from that. Well the great part about it is that now that I am there some of those relationships have been restored and some I think are even better. Also while I was home I realized how much I have changed in recent months. I realized while I was at a friends house at a cook-out with a lot of people I knew. I was sitting there talking to only two people Melissa an Alan and it hit me that I did not really know anybody else(other than Melissa and Alan) there I have changed so much that I did not really know those people anymore. Some of them had been kind of close friends and now I cannot even be around them. Mainly because some of them are just fake and it took me being gone to be able to see it. While i know that some of this sounds negative I really had a great weekend. OUt of all my friends here at home I know that there are some that really care for me and even a few that care that aren't in north alabama. Anyway about the future it is starting to look pretty good because I know that God is in control.
