Different Parts of Life

 I have had lots of good friends over the years. The only sad thing is we all move away from each other and life moves on. Now those friends are still considered friends to me but the interesting thing is that we are all in different parts of our life.

"To everything there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under heaven..." 

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Some friends are away at college, some on missions, some are getting married or already married with kids. Some have lived through rough times and some through easy. But, over all we are all still friends. It's a mind boggling thing to have relationships and special connections to other people who live completely different lives. 

All my life I have heard people complain that they are "behind in life" with money, marriage, family, you name it they're behind. But now that I am approaching my 20's this concept is taking on some meaning. I just keep having to remind myself that I am not behind and that this is exactly where God wants me to be right now, so make the best of it and learn as much as you can!

You are only going to be this age and have these opportunities once, so live as much as you can and don't wish to be in any other position then the one you are in now. There is a reason for everything and you will eventually get to experience all of the wonders of life in accordance to God's time. So in the mean time, wait patiently and remember...these are the golden years!
