Testify to Love

Within life there is motion and with each motion there is change. Motions of happiness, motions of regret, motions of excitement, motions of relief, motions of surprise. All of which result in a change from our previous conditions. Doubtfulness falls upon us when things aren’t going as planned, when people leave, when people change, when people aren’t who we thought, this is when our life plan tends to veer off course. This I find to be the best moments of God testing us and presenting us with challenges. The norms we live can be bland, and I have learned to know that change is inevitable, change can bring on the unexpected, the life altering. Sometimes the hardest thing, and the right thing are the same.

I have found myself questioning where this year will take, what it will bring, and what I will gain. The cold is coming upon us, the leaves will change colors, and we will be shifting through our cycle of seasons once again. Thinking upon years past and where I had been-makes me remember specific instances of unconditional love-excitement- embraces- and the unknown. People that have made these memories are still strongly imprinted on my life-and some not as strong any more. I do not know what will come with the unknown, but I do know that I have six best friends to spend another year with. Blessed beyond words. I heard someone say that a few days ago and it stuck in my mind. To be blessed beyond words is a great amount of appreciativeness of your conditions, and I feel this way about my group of friends, my family, that I have a roof over my head, food on the table, a strong faith, the ability to travel, and the capacity to learn, learn, learn. Those that have made vast imprints on my heart in the past-are still there in my heart-even if they aren’t here visibly walking near my side. I find myself questioning what life would be like if they were still here-still in my life-and the only answer is that my life is supposed to be the way it is right now.
