Ouch, That hurt

This past weekend, Tim and I were dealt a hard blow. We were forced to look at the happenings in our lives in a different light versus the version that we had been seeing for the past several years and it caught us completely offguard.

We have greatly enjoyed the choices that we made to start a family, but didn't realize that in the process we would be loosing such valuable friends. It's been a slow fade as the realities of parenthood and both of us having to work and be daycare at the same time have left little to no room for much extra curricular activities. For us we've just been doing life and fitting friends in whenever we could--trying to be as intentional as we could be. Yet in the midst of it you forget that other peoples lives still revolve without you in it. It's just that you don't really realize or understand it until it's brought to light and then you find out that you are in this romanticized relationship that is one sided. Things haven't changed for you, yet for them much has happened while we have been running around after two toddler. And why wouldn't it?

I can't blame people for continuing on in life. It's just that I didn't realize how much we had missed the boat. It made us very sad to realize that we were not as good of friends as we had thought we were and a little lonely. We know that God is our faithful friend. The one that never changes even when everything around us does. Thank you for sustaining us and being our constant.
