It seems like I am waiting for something to happen. I am not sure what it is, but something. I am not anxious or worried about it. Still, it feels in my soul that something is coming. Maybe it is because of what I posted about yesterday (so much change happening). It is not a bad feeling. Just a feeling that something big/bad/good/small is going to happen. I guess it has to doesn't it? Things are always changing and I would be nieve to think that they wouldn't. I mean when you think about it, don't we usually get surprised by things that are just part of life? Changing jobs, getting pregnant, someone getting sick, family members or friends making decisions that affect many others. Things always will happen that way.
Lately, with the whole divorce thing with our friends, Sarah and I have been kind of discouraged because they were our closest friends up here or over here (depending on where you are when you read this). I miss my friends from time to time that are in Anderson and my family...I recently got on myspace.com and they are all on there talking about how they are doing things together and going here and there and it has really affected me. I miss having friends that come over and do nothing really. I get that every once in a while when the SPEDS come up but I am usually doing an overnighter so I dont get much QT with them. So in reality, I don't really have many friends like that anymore. Sarah is in the same boat. She was working a lot with orientation but now that that is over she is feeling that same thing. Her friends all live together in Indy and she really has no friends here. Well, thats that. I have now said whats been on my heart for a while.

Hey Drew, sounds like you have a little heartache there. I feel bad for you and Sarah....it's hard not to have close friends, someone to do things with. Just keep hanging on and ask God for friends that you can hang with. Make sometime to come and see your old ones here. We could be the meeting place for you all to get together. Set something up...I love you and Sarah and will always be here for you........Love, Momma
Hi Andy,
My heart hurt for you and Sarah as I read your posting last night. Life isn't always fair and things don't always go right and we do get "down" sometimes. Losing special friends like you and Sarah have gone through is very sobering. Maybe they are feeling the same way, too, and still need some contact from you??? I don't know the particulars of the situation and don't know how you would work it out....something you could think about.
It is so good that you have each other right now, and neither of you is going through this alone. God gives us special people in our lives, husband/wife, family, etc., etc. It is times like this you learn to lean heavily on the Lord for the "achy-breaky" feelings you might be having.
Our lives do change with marriage, new jobs, new towns.......sometimes the miles that separate us are hard to deal with. For myself, I wish my whole family lived right in my town...that would be so wonderful, but that is not the way it is. It makes the time we do spend together more precious. I read your mom's note and maybe you could set aside a day a month or every 6 weeks to get together with your friends, and the same for Sarah, too. Sometimes, with our lives the way they are, you just have to make time to do things like that, or TREAT yourself once in a while.
Have you tried talking with your Pastor?? Maybe he could say something that would make both of you feel better. I am sure he and his wife have gone through this considering the amount of time he has spent in the ministry and the moving I am sure he has gone through. Just a thought.
Just wanted you both to know that I felt for you and the losses you are feeling right now. It is a grieving process of sorts....you have to work through it. But, don't try it alone....the Lord is right where you are, your family is as close as a phone call or e-mail. We love you both very much and think and pray for you every day.
Talk to you later. See you soon.
Love,
Lana
Hey Bub!! I really don't know what to say. I miss you and I know the Speds miss you too. Jon wants to rush right up there to spend time with you since you're down. I wish it was that easy. We should hear something about the house tomorrow!! We're praying for you Bub! I love you
Hey man.. I know what you mean. I know that Jon and Matt live here and I've become a closer friend to Roger, but it's not the distance that gets me down sometimes, it's that life isn't what it used to be anymore and people have jobs and things they are busy doing and we can't really "hang out" like we used to. So while I can't say I know how you feel, I can say I feel similar. And I miss hanging out with you too.. when the SPEDS are together it's great.. I would have had a million times more fun in Florida if it would have been you, me, Jon, and Matt.. and I was thinking that when I was there.
I had the same feeling recently (in January) of something big coming. Something big did happen, and the feeling , I have decided was God preparing me. I'm in to blogs right now, hope you don't mind me reading and commenting on yours.
