Bitter Sweet

It is always bitter sweet to say good-bye to a friend. I have really close friends who are leaving to study another language overseas. It is bitter sweet because I know that this is where God has called them to be and at the same time I don't want them to leave. I have seen the two of them at least once a week for over 7 years now. They are going to be gone a minimum of 2 years and it is going to be hard. It seems that God is making many changes in my life. I am excited about them, there are so many good things that come from the changes, but in the same respect I am only human and don't like change. I think it is harder to be the one who stays behind, everything is still the same in my day to day but it just seems like there is a part missing. One thing always remaining the same. God is always right beside me and will never leave me or forsake me. No matter how many changes come my way, God will never give me more than I can handle with him by my side.
