When there are significant transitions in our lives, we go through days where we are up and we go through even more days where we feel down.
Today is a day of feeling down and missing the things that are familiar: my close friends who hear me out when I have a hard day, a group of students who I can deeply influence, being able to connect with my close friends by either going into their bedroom or walking over to their apartment, and more than ever, my guitar.
In this moment of hardship, I still would not go back. I would not want everything to be the way it was last year because that would be taking the easy way out. Instead, I sit and reflect on my sadness, but also give thanks for the ways that God has been at work in my life.
I thank God for sending my friends away to new places so that they can further His Kingdom in another part of the province or the world. I thank God for a new group of students to share life with, and ask for patience and wisdom as I figure out how to model the Kingdom to them.
And I thank God that in this season, He truly is the only One who I can draw on. I have had my friends to rely on over the past year, but in this year, I strongly sense that God is calling me to Himself. So to You, I draw tonight, because You are the One I am living for.
