Seperate Ways

Oh my goodness...

I just found out that the girl who was my best friend for years is having a baby. As my dad asked, "As in not-married-pregnant?!" Yes. Exactly that.

I am in shock. I am sad. We were so alike. In every way. I could tell her everything. I loved her so much. I still do.

I just wonder... how did things go so south? How did I end up the way I am and she end up the way she is? How blessed am I?! I have a father who supports me in every way, a college degree from an incredible university, amazing, wonderful and healthy friendships, a fantastic summer job and *hopefully* a real job on the way. I have Jesus in my life, guiding me and teaching me every day of the week, whether I know it or not.

This girl and I parted ways in high school and I have seen her twice since then- once when my mother died and then again at her brothers wedding. My heart breaks for her. Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you for being such incredible people in my life, who keep me grounded, who keep my focus on the Lord, who hold my hand instead of pointing me to the next "quick fix" aka boys, drugs, you get it. I love you guys so much!!
