Old Friends Old Memories

So I am sitting here in front of my computer at 1:07 am in the morning. Yes, you are right, it is definitely way too late or early that the case may be, to be trying to write put together thoughts. But I must type my thoughts out as they come. Tonight I went on a blast from the past journey. It all started out with me trying to remember the name of a subject one of my Professors lectured about at the college I attended over 2 years ago (time does go by quickly!). I couldn't remember completely the whole term, so I googled my prof's name to get her email address so I could find out. (google is a wonderful tool by the way, and the term I was looking for was Dark Night of the Soul, if you are ever wanting something to ponder, look it up). While in google mode, I came across my schools website, and a blog of someone who attends their now. I had no clue who that person was, yet they had a name that sounded familiar so I clicked on it! It just so happened to be one of my old classmates and friend. It made me realize how busy life gets and the people who get pushed out of your life when you aren't looking. True, I probably won't keep in contact with that person or maybe not even see them ever again. It is a sad thought, b/c this is not the first time or the first friend this has happened to me. But I realize as time goes by and friends grow in number, if I were to keep in touch with all that influenced my life, I would never have time to live! This brings me to the conclusion, that I do not believe that God has meant for all to be close for eternity, but more brings people into your life for certain periods to help you and you help them to grow in faith and life. God is really our only constant, and maybe family and a possible spouse, but even then sometimes don't last. We need to turn our eyes heavenward, and use him as our guide, and hope beyond hope that you can make a difference while living on this deteriating earth! I hope you have been able to follow my jamble so early on a Friday morning. God bless you!
