Where Did Neverland Go?

Everyone is growing up. A lot of my friends are getting married or having babies. This year is the year that is marking new territory for many of my loved ones. I'm realizing that I fit in this category as well. I'm barely squeezing in but I am definitely growing up. Though I am not engaged and definitely NOT pregnant, I am being placed in leadership, being stretched, and going to the next level on all my gifts and passions. God is placing more responsibility on my shoulders and I am learning what to do with it. The hardest thing is knowing that nothing is going to be the same. I love change but I would like for the things I am moving from to stay the same...yes, I am very selfsh. I just want my lost boys to stay lost and not have babies!haha As in the movie Hook I would like to move on and become that business woman but when I come back to neverland everything is the same. In my neverland tale I wouldn't forget my lost boys though. I would visit often. With all of this nonsensical talk I am just saying that I never want to say bye. Like I said before, I am selfish.

God is ridding that in my life though. Teaching me how to cherish friendships but not hold on. To give Him glory even when I don't know how to say my farewells (in most cases my, "see you laters"). So in line with my life lesson for the day...Farewell Neverland. Hello today.

My favorite part is that in my Neverland, my lost boys are growing with me and I will see them very soon. Never saying good bye, because we are all living for the same purpose. We are all found by the same one that is teaching us how to live in glory.
