Distance and Time.

Distance can really test a friendship. There are those who are in touch with your life even though they may be miles away; separated by seas and time zones. And there are those who send the frequent text message early on and after awhile, drift off to oblivion.

Friendship takes effort. As with any other relationship, there is a little give, there is a little take. More give than take in my ideal world.

I suppose some friends were meant to be in our lives at that predestined time - to teach us a thing or two about life. And when we've both had our lessons, we move on. Sometimes, other distractions come along to take place in our lives, sometimes little things happen that are beyond our control and in the end, we are left with awkwardness from what was originally a very edifyng relationship.

I will continue to pray from this end. I will continue to love. I will continue to ask the Lord to watch over, to bless, to keep safe, to grow. But for now, I will do that from a distance.

-selah-

For now, for the sake of my peace of mind and heart, I am taking a little holiday from some www. I'll still be reading your posts from time to time, so keep those thoughts rolling. May we all continue to enjoy the simple things in life; first rays of sun in the morning, the smell of fresh coffee, a hug, a cuddle, a gentle breeze, cheese cake. May we continue to strive to look out of our own little worlds - to see beyond what our human eyes can see and instead, to put on eyes of faith, a heart of compassion and to give our all in everything that we do.
