Life highs and goodbyes.

I laughed a lot today. I reconnected with a friend. I saw a person I'd like to befriend. I smiled at the baby behind me in church.
I talked a lot today. Almost too much. But if I hadn't it wouldn't be me.
I thought a lot today. About being single. About weddings and invitations.
I laughed a lot today. With my co-workers. Sharing stories.
I wonder why it is that God doesn't allow some things to happen. Why he allows things that bring pain so immensely into our lives. We make it through and we pray, 'May that never happen to anyone else I love' and then it does. Oh, I do not like that.
Today, things changed. My life was reminded of a few things that maybe I should look into. My hair changed directions. Literally. It was weird--my part moved.
I prayed today for another friend. She is leaving us and following God. I so wish I were as brave.
God, make me brave. I am afraid, but I still laugh.
a lot.
Today.
Praise God.
