I lift my eyes to the mountains-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. -- Psalm 121:1-2

Be Brave: Do you see a relationship in your life changing? Write about it. Ask God to show you where He is in the midst of this change. - 100 Days to Brave by Annie F. Downs
I prayed to God before I started writing this post... asking Him how open and honest I should be...
I've had a few relationships change for the good and the bad in the past few years.
In high school, I didn't really find that solid friend group until my senior year through doing theater.
In college, kind of the same thing... my solid core group of people came during late in my sophomore and junior years.
Even in my adulut-life, I've had some friendships come and go... some really, really painuful.
Annie talks about how friendship breakups are much worse than romantic relationship breakups. I AGREE 183%.
I have never cried more when I've stopped being friends with someone. Recently, I went through a change in a friendship in my ADULT life... yeah that happens at 24 years of age, it seems. I lost sleep over this friendship. I could not believe it was taking the turn that it was. It HURT. And because of the beauty/horror of social media... I got to watch their life move on without a hitch, while it seemed like I was drowing.
Again, friendship breakups suck. But they are a part of life. And like Annie said, God will reveal Himself in the midst of that change.
