People come and go, but some may stay....

So I believe you may have heard this before but let me share it !

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

So the reason I share this with you is undisclosed information, but here's the gist. I have had so many wonderful people enter my life. In the past, recently, when I first began college......and they all have made a lasting impression on my life and the way I am. They have come and gone, some have stayed, some left and are now back! Some were just a brief getting to know you! But even still they have effected me. It amazes me how much I still have to learn in this life. I am also amazed by how much I am learning about myself! I am very happy with my life right now, wouldn't change it for the world, and I am grateful for the people who will be entering my life....shortly.....and even more grateful for those who will permanently be in it!

Thank you for being my friend!
