Made for another world
"If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in the world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." C. S. Lewis

Friends
This week is going to be a hard one. My friend and Max's friend are moving. Julie has been my prayer partner for over a year and Max and Jacob have been good friends since just after we moved to Cody.
Wherever I've gone God has been gracious to give me exactly what I need relationally. I've been blessed to have people who invest in my life, that encourage and pray for me. Julie has been such a blessing to me in Cody, it's hard to say goodbye. God has used our relationship to refine and grow me in such important ways.
I've also seen God working in Jacob and Max's relationship. It has certainly been a tool God has used to teach both boys about relationships and love. I know Max has grown a lot in his ability to be kind, share, work together, have patience, forgive and more. He really loves his "Jacob friend".
I truly believe relationships are our training ground. We learn, and practice the truth's we're learning, in the context of relationship. With out them there would be no maturity. I am thankful for the good gift of friendship in my life. We will certainly miss the Myers family!

I'm sad for the loss of your's and Max's friends. I know, saying good bye is hard. I pray there will be other friends for you two there. Anyone would be fortunate to have such a twosome!!
