Connection Lost

I am missing friends a lot these days.  So much so that I'm starting to complain, blame them, and become...bitter.  None of which I want to do or feel.  I should reach out to my friends and let them know how I am feeling, that I am missing them instead of sulking like a child.

I need to reconnect with so many people.  Living in Joplin is lovely but I am starting to feel the strain a bit.  Finding the middle ground between family and friends is a balancing act that I must figure out.

God help me to not be resentful or remain bitter about my own foolish thoughts.  Help me take initiative and reach out to others instead of trying to let them figure out how I am feeling.  People are not mind-readers.  Also, please make this snow stop.  Help those traveling reach their businesses, homes, or destinations safely.  Amen.

Nice. Now I have that song running through my head, and will all day. Thanks.
Kerri, we love you and miss you.
What can we do to help re-connect?

I will be in church Sunday. That should help the "itch" I have to see and reconnect with people. I think the combinations of missing home group, church, and not seeing everyone as often has just become a little overwhelming.

Sorry, there is no like button on here. I would recommend moving back...but I am sure I will be turned down.

Kerri said...

Yes you will be Ugo. We're not that far away.

So, hey, this is a total coincidence, but we were hoping to come see you on Monday, since we're going to be in Joplin! :D Can we drop by while you're at work even?

I am off Monday, so even better!
