Roots

How are you friends?

How was your weekend?

I took a long weekend.

It was much needed.

I wont lie,

I was supposed to be at the beach this past weekend with my most favorite person.

But the trip had to be cancelled because of my ongoing house situation.

So I was a little bummed.

But I still tried to make the most of the day off and the long nice weekend.

I spent the weekend with good good friends. Some old and some new.

I have been praying for healthy and meaningful friendships for awhile now.

It was something I really lacked when I first graduated college and many dear friends moved away.

It took time.

But I see the fruits of my prayer all around me now.

And you know what else I see?

I see myself as a more compassionate and loving person.

When you are lacking something you learn to appreciate it and grow to be better in that area to other people. 

I am also going through a period of transition with relationships.

Some are being torn out by the root.

And it hurts.

I can get so attached.

Unhealthy attachments.

I can be shown red flag after red flag and I ignore it and get more and more entangled in a mess with another person.

I'm tired of it.

And that is a good place to be I think.

Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Because when something gets torn out by the root,

It really is painful.

But I am finally to the point where I believe it is worth it.

and necessary.

I am just praying for grace to stay strong and obey when the going gets tough.
I want healthy roots. Strong, healthy, fruit bearing roots.

 

I hope your weekend was lovely.

I hope your week has started off with a bang!

Much love to you readers!
