People come into our lives for a season and a reason. Some come into our lives to teach us something important about ourselves through pain and hurt, others are there to encourage and embrace us, as we are, with all our flaws. Whichever the season a person becomes part of your life journey it's important to trust that there is always a valuable reason God allowed them to be a part of it. In this season I am so grateful for the friendships that have stood the test of time and challenges, I treasure the lessons learned from the friendships lost and I am thanking God for each of them.
