...and I'm finally back.
I've been meaning to update this thing for a while now - it's just that so much has happened and every time I try, I don't know where to start.
I was just reading Andrea's blog and I read the bit about old friends. About how with strangers, there might be a future, but with old friends, there is only the past and what "once was".
"for me, i'd rather savour the sweetness that once was
than taste the sour rancidness of expired food..."It makes me so sad to think about it.
In fact, I've kinda convinced myself that maybe it isn't true all the time. If things can't go back to the way they once were, maybe things can grow into new, better things. Maybe.
"...but i know deep down
that if you ever needed me again,
or are prepared to start the friendship all over again,
i'll be there on the double."I'm so glad that God will never be an 'old friend' to me, nor a stranger, nor a new friend, but a best Friend about whom there will
always be new things to learn, know and delight in.

I know my future's brighter.
