Life changes. Quite suddenly at times. And I get caught up in the twists and turns without even knowing where they lead me. Good and bad. Running away before I can glance at the scenery.

Two of my greatest relationships have been recently shattered and another is holding on by a thread. My best friend has abandoned me and hasn't even given rhyme or reason as to why. The phone calls have ceased. The late nights out have come to an abrupt halt. Going... going... gone. And I never even saw it coming. My best friend. And it's over so fast.

Almost two years have passed, and we decide to call it quits. I walk away from the situation and we're suddenly labeled as "single" and "available" and "on the market". This second great relationship ended swiftly and suddenly. Saw the signs and refused to make adjustments along the way. Now here I sit, alone and friendless. No one to love and no one to love me. Not necessarily true. But it sure feels like it at times.

Why do these things happen? Simple. God needs my attention. He has been getting severe lack of the past couple months. It became a process. A requirement. Something I had to work into my schedule. Really He should be the center of my life and my everything. Slowly I am learning. Maybe these broken relationships will mend themselves once the most important one is once again head of my life.

If you set your heart right, then pray to him. If you're holding on to sin, put it far away, and don't let injutice live in your tent. Then you will be able to show your face without being ashamed, and you will be secure and unafraid. Then you will forget your misery and remember it like water that has flowed downstream. Then your life will be brighter than the noonday sun. The darkness in your life wil become like morning. You will feel confident because there's hope, and you will look around and rest in safety.
Job 11:13-18
