Life is changing
So I feel like my life is changing a lot right now.  A good 15 or so of my friends have moved away within the last year or will be leaving very shortly.  I guess that's what I get for going to grad school at the same place I did my undergrad instead of being the one to leave everyone else.  I definitely don't regret it though.  I'm positive that God's Will was for me to stay at Arkansas. I got to make some incredible relationships that I otherwise would've missed out on.  This fall will be my first semester without having to take a class (although I still have one class left to take in the Spring).  My friends are getting "real jobs" and driving "grown up cars."  I am so thankful for the friends that I still have here and the new people God is placing in my life (especially a certain lady-friend).  I am looking forward to getting involved in a new community group and forging new relationships and community.  With this transition, it has made me realize how much stock I put in my friends.  At times I think I fall into putting my identity in people I respect and love, but this is a good chance to (yes I know it's cliche) work on putting my identity in Christ.  I'm excited to see what and who this next part of my life will bring.  I usually am resistant to change in my life, but I definitely think it can be a positive and healthy thing.
