My diary had always served as a useful mirror . I can just put my feelings out and then stand back and take a look . The examination nearly always change my perspective. I'm glad that i've been writing. All the thoughts and feelings i had wrestled with in my sleep that had weighed so heavily upon myself felt light at this moment . So many things had felt so intense these past few days , and i wasn't feelin' really good about it. But not now. Not today.

Sometimes , the test of true love for a friend is found not in holding on to tht person but in lettin' 'em go. Sometimes when we step back and let go, it gives God room to do what He's been trying to do all along. It's like He's been waiting for us to get out of the way.

* It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it .
But it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives .
