Loss

I have always been good about taking care of my personal belongings so they last a long time. I got my first phone in 2006 and did not replace it until 2012. I replaced it mostly to get a new service. The phone still worked. I got my first laptop in 2007. I did not need to replace it until the end of 2011. Once again, the laptop still worked, but it was out of date and I had little choice but to update. I have had the same church shoes since I was a junior in high school. As I look around my room, many of the items I see I have owned for many years. It is important to take care of the things that I have.

I'm not really sure where I am going with this.

I lost my best friend. She doesn't want any more to do with me. She doesn't want to talk to me. She doesn't want to see me. She doesn't want to think about me. She wants to forget everything about me. I have never had a friend who meant so much to me. I would give up all of my precious belongings to save this friendship. I would give up my laptop, I would give up my phone, I would give up my theater, I would give up my shoes, I would give up my games, I would give up my money.

 If I could have this friendship back, I would give up everything I have, and I would be content.

My heart is not filled by the physical things. I have been blessed with many physical things to make my life enjoyable, yet still my heart is empty.


 Each life that touches ours for good
    Reflects thine own great mercy, Lord;
    Thou sendest blessings from above
    Thru words and deeds of those who love.
   
What greater gift dost thou bestow,
    What greater goodness can we know
    Than Christlike friends, whose gentle ways
    Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.
   
When such a friend from us departs,
    We hold forever in our hearts
    A sweet and hallowed memory,
    Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.
   
 For worthy friends whose lives proclaim
    Devotion to the Savior's name,
    Who bless our days with peace and love,
    We praise thy goodness, Lord, above.


Come on, come on
You have got to move on
This is not the you i know
This isn't real
It's just all you can feel
And that's the way that feelings go
And whether or not it's right or wrong you'll do what you will do

When the cloud in the sky starts to pour
And your life is just a storm you're braving
Don't tell yourself you can't lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving sometimes

Say what you will but the time that we fill
While we're on the earth
Should not be alone
We were meant to be known
You make me what I'm worth
But I can't keep you from yourself you'll do what you will do

When the cloud in the sky starts to pour
And your life is just a storm you're braving
Don't tell yourself you can't lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving sometimes

I don't know why it has to be this way and
I don't know the cure
But please believe someone has felt this way before

When the cloud in the sky starts to pour
And your life is just a storm you're braving
Don't tell yourself you can't lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving sometimes...
