ugh.. that's all i can say.

What are you supposed to do when things go sour btw you and other people? How do things in life get so messed up that you are no longer friends w/ some people who used to matter most? How do you let go of a friendship that you thought you'd have forever?
God gave me this motherly tone, a mouth to speak it, and a giving heart. But sometimes emotions rage over & once again the word vomit comes pouring out. Sometimes instead of giving loving advice, I preach and fuss. It sucks. But I learn from my flaws, and the people who are my true friends accept me. Always be true to yourself.

Someone sent this to me & maybe I just need to remind myself of it occaisonally.

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. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people become friends and stay a while.. leaving beautiful footprints on our heart, and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend.

*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. Thye are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing 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 fullfilled, 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 of 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, & 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!

It's hard to accept the fact that some people will not be a lifetime friend. It's hard to let go. & it's okay to cry about the loss of a friendship. I pray that God will bless each type of friend that I encounter in my life. That I will be a shining light in their life, learn from them as well as they learn from me. & help me to move on, and find friends that will lift me up, & not bring me down.
