Friends, these are definitely people whom I appreciate for being in my life. Right now, it seems that a lot of them are leaving me behind, with one going to Australia and a number of my really close friends are in Singapore. I do feel left out, because this means I don’t get to hang out with them as much as I want to, to get a hug from them whenever I want to, to drop by their place and etc. I am sad, honestly, feeling at loss with the thought of my friends being far away from me.
But you know, I also trust that God has great plans for my friends. I guess we are where we are because God places us there.
Abby, I know that you are moving away and I know you are sad and scared. But you know what, I also know and trust that God is the person directing your path. I know you are going to miss your family and friends. Please do know this, we will miss you heaps too!
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me. You’ve always been a constant reminder to me and the encourager of my walk with God. You’ve always shown me the difference of one who follows and chases after God wholeheartedly. You’ve motivated me to draw closer to God too. Thank you for being you at all times, especially during the time when we started working. We were all going a transition in our lives at that time, and it is through our friendship that we are able to pull through it and come out strong.
Forgive me for being the tougher one in our friendship. Forgive me for scolding you, but trust me when I said it was for your sake that I did that. Forgive me when I was impatient with you, forgive me when I treat you like a little girl.
I’ll miss you heaps my dearest friend, companion and sister. Thank you for being you. Thank you for the privilege of being your bridesmaid. That was my first, and most probably my last for being a bridesmaid to my close friends.
I urge you to not worry but continue to trust God as you travel overseas. Continue to be the prayer warrior that you are. Be the praying wife and friend that you are. Rest assured, God is faithful as you continue to be faithful. Although the distance is there between us, I believe, we will be able to overcome this through our constant keeping in contact with each other.
I love you, my dearest sister. I know, this may come a little earlier than it’s supposed to, but truly, I’m missing you already.
