Sometimes, you have to let go when someone is affecting your life in a harmful way. I have this motherly nature of wanting to protect those I love. There is no point in trying to "fix" a relationship that will always be broken. People change, circumstances change, life changes and the only constant is time. With that, I repeat: "this too shall pass".
I appreciate my friends more than words can describe. They are my family. I have been blessed with some authentic friendships that remind me of the way Christ wants us to love.
I had the honor of visiting Honduras on a Soles4Souls shoe distribution. We saw a country in chaos, orphans in need, and people who seemed hopeless. The one thing that gave me peace was the overwhelming feeling of love. I was surrounded by a team of people that wanted to give a week of their life away to those who are less fortunate, whether that be financially, relationally, etc, they came to assist strangers in need.
That is the hope I needed. There are people in this broken world that still care about others. There are still people who are inspired by Christ. I needed to be taken away from the superficial-ness of my surroundings to catch just a blink of time that was holy.
