In your life for a reason...

I have been really thinking about the people that are in or out of my life right now...


I really believe in that old saying people are in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.


Since my life has changed so dramatically over the last 9+ months, I can really take a step back and look at this with a new found clarity.

Do I regret one particular person being in my life? I can honestly say no. Without that experience I would not have my two fantastic children. I have no regrets at all but I am ready to move forward and get on with living the rest of my life.

I have recently had some people re-enter my life. Which I find very, very interesting.

One of them is someone that I was inseparable from years ago and cannot say why we ever drifted apart. It seems almost as if we started right where we left off, long lost sisters if you will. The time that has passed does not seem to have affected our friendship. This is really not surprising to me....a life long friend.

I have someone else that has recently found their way back to me. This person just kind of fell off the face of the earth..came back for a few guest appearances..and has now materialized out of no where. I wonder why they have shown up now? Is there more I need to learn from this person? Why them? Why now? What fascinates me about them reappearing is that I really thought I was very insignificant in their life when our paths crossed, that I was not ever thought about. According to them, I have that all wrong....I am interested to see if they are a reason or a season.

I have two very dear friends that came into my life two years ago that were meant to be with me on the very journey I am traveling right now. They both really are my rock and I honestly don't think I would have been able to get though the last year without them. They make me laugh, have seen me cry and listen to every single crazy story that I tell them. They definitely are in my life for a reason and I am grateful for them both.

Last but not least, is a friend that just entered my life by complete chance. I think they are one of the most interesting people I have met in quite some time. Something about them just intrigues me very much.

I wonder why we have crossed paths, what will I learn from them...
