thoughts..

the past couple of weeks especially, i have realized how much deep, close, real friendship i lack recently.. i don't know if it's the reality of living over here for right at a year or what, but i really miss having close, real, deep friendships... i have one or two that are close, deep, and real even from across an ocean, but i feel like little by little all of the people i thought i would keep in touch with and continue to go deep with have dwindled away. i know it's the distance and a lack of effort on both ends, but i know i need that too...

this weekend/few days have been a really good time for me to laugh hard with people. to have real conversations with people, and to just breathe deep. it's been refreshing to my soul, to say the least... ah, life...

even though i have felt removed from a lot of my friendships lately, i really feel like i have been walking closer to Him.. i have been comforted by that.. it's amazing to see ways that He can come and heal things and restore. He makes all things new and whole. and i know i need that in my soul. new. whole. real. deep.

one more day here, then 2 weeks til i go to Memphis!!!
