I went to lunch with an old friend a few weeks ago. We had not seen each other in a LONG time, so when she messaged me to meet up I honestly was ecstatic, yet so nervous. I spent the next couple of weeks running the past couple of years in my mind. Have you ever done this? I thought about what news I could tell her, what new hobbies I've developed, my accomplishments, my adorable husband. I didn't want to leave her with nothing. Then, I began thinking. What have the last couple of years been for me? What is it that I've gone through that's worth mentioning? Maybe I am the only weirdo that worries about things like that.
Well, a couple of weeks past and it was time to meet up for dinner. We sat down, sipped our water and began talking about our lives. I remember distinctly feeling like we were completely different people, which is true, we are. We were friends in college. Now, we were married ladies. What?! When did this happen?! I also remember telling her that I have felt somewhat lost the last couple of months. We moved to a new town and I wasn't sure about my place anymore. I wasn't sure of what our next steps were. It seemed like we had been in neutral since we've moved. I told her I just felt so tired. Tired of moving, tired of feeling like I couldn't lay down my roots, tired of not feeling like I had a role in a community.
Thankfully, much of that has changed the last week. I feel as though God is really helping us set some goals, take part in community, and embark on a whole new journey. Sometimes I feel like life is that way. You feel as though your drifting and suddenly you land exactly where you are supposed to be.
