It’s a funny feeling… missing people you’ll never see again. Remembering them as the way you saw them in that season; not with unbiased eyes. You’ll never see them again, not like they used to be, and like they used to mean to you. You’ll never recognize them as more than a stranger. The name might sound familiar and their stories close, but truth has revealed through their actions that what you thought of them, might have never been so. Our outer appearance usually changes little, yet the heart and character of a person can change loyalties and betray; from radio silence to worse degrees beyond that. Missing people is a fact of life, and the heartache doesn’t have to last in such a controlling manner. There is hope for transformation, and there is grace to remember and cherish the good memories as they were; frozen in that time.
So the funny feeling of missing people who are no longer an active participant in your life, no matter the reason, shouldn’t deter us from engaging with those that are currently crossing our paths. Current relationships won’t replace what was, but they can come along and change you through new perspective. A perspective that lessens the pain, one that gives fresh energy and a vision for a new season of growth and life. That funny feeling is normal friend, and I dare you to take a chance by taking a step forward into the new. Nothing is as scary as being held in place by the promises and memories of what was, and will never be again! I’m rooting for you as you venture into the exciting world of new possibilities!
