"The Lord has set apart..."
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
the LORD will hear when I call to him.
In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Selah
-- Psalm 4:3-4 NIV
So I was talking to Brian last night ... no ... Thursday night. Anyways, I was talking about how I can sit in a room full of my closest friends and still feel completely alone and so we talked for a while about how if you're around people constantly and you let their perceptions of you become who you are, then you kind of lose focus on God and feel really unfulfilled. And I kind of blew that off but I think it has a lot more weight than I originally considered it to have. That's one of the reasons I kind of want to "get away from it all" ... but I also don't want to go home. And I don't want them (= Brian, Bill, Jeff, John ... and others, but mostly those 4) to graduate. I don't want to lose that link ... there's times when one or many of them keep me going. Like Thursday night ... I was holding back tears, talking to Bri for like an hour ... he really is like a big brother to me, and I am definitely going to stay in contact with/spend more time with his family next year. Both Brian (& Em) and Kristin (& Bill) have invited me to come visit them next semester/year, so that'll be good. And I'm sure we'll make it up to Landenberg sometime to see Denise & Ron and Bob & Kathy & Elly and everyone else. Man ... I don't want them to graduate ...
