The Comings and Goings

I think one of the biggest things that I have really struggled with being in this kind of life style is the comings and goings of people ALL THE TIME! You have a new person come in, you have to spend the time and energy to really get to know them. Then all of a sudden they are off going on to the next thing God has for them. 

I have counted up the amount of roommates and housemates I have actually had in the last 5 years living in Cimarron. (This is not including Texas either!) 12 girls! In 5 years 12 different people I have lived with. All of these girls have now moved on except one but she is on outreac
h right now.
So why am I on this subject right now? Well I have had yet another housemate leave today.  I've been contemplating this life path that I am on now.  I also have been thinking about how I am super blessed by these people who have entered my life. Yes it is hard to have them come, become best of friends with many and see them leave.  But yet, God has blessed me with so many good friends. Not just here but all over the world.  I have friends in Thailand, England, New Zealand, Canada, Pakistan,  Afghanistan, and all over the USA. What a blessing it is to be able to communicate with these people. Email, Facebook, Myspace, Skype, Snail Mail Etc. All of these things have helped me to keep in contact with my friends. 

Despite the fact that I always miss these people. And I know that some I will see again and others I will not.  I know that God puts these people in my life for such a time as this! I love these people. And I will enjoy getting to know the new people in the future. To all my
 friends who have come and gone.... you know who you are..... I love you and miss you.
To all those people who have seen me come and go... I love you and miss you too. But it's awesome what God is doing so THANK YOU for releasing me! :-)
