Just for a season...

another day in the neighborhood...ive been ponderin some stuff the past few days...as i am seeking to find myself..i question my purpose and the purpose of those around me..i think why am i here..recently i have had a few blasts from the past..and friends from WAY back got back in touch with me..i wonder..why now..i think everything happens for a reason..according to God's will and purpose for my life..nothing is by accident..and it makes me re-evaluate my role in their life and vice versa...it reminded me of this Madea quote (thank u Brandie for finding it)...

..."Some people come into your life for a lifetime, some come for a season. You got to know which is which. You're gonna always mess up when you mix them seasonal people up with lifetime expectations. We got people that got married with people they only supposed to be with for a season, and they wonder why they have so much hell in their life. That was a person that was supposed to come and teach you one thing. You didn't know it so you just fell in love, and now you wonder why don't got no peace anywhere you go."

..."I put everybody that come in my life in the category of a tree. Some people are like leaves on a tree. The wind blows, they over there. They unstable. Blows the other way, they over here. Seasons change, they wither and die, they gone. That's alright. Most people in the world are like that. They just there to take from the tree. They there to take and give shade every now and then. That's all they can do. But don't get mad at em, that's who they are. Some people are like a branch on that tree. You gotta be careful with them branches too cause they'll fool you. They'll get there and make you think they a good friend and real strong, but the minute you step out there on em, they'll break and leave you high and dry. But if you find you two or three people in your life that's like the roots at the bottom of the tree, you are blessed. They're the kind of people that ain't goin nowhere. They ain't worried about bein seen, don't nobody have to know that they know you, they ain't got to know what they doin for you. But if them roots wasn't there that tree couldn't live. You understand? When you get you some roots hold on to em. But the rest of it you let it go. Just let folks go. "

theres almost nuthing left to say...what Madea said is so true..

appreciate those people in ur life..u never know their purpose..and make a point to be that for someone else..my mama used to tell me.."If my ONLY purpose in life was to have u..I am grateful for it." We might just be here to cause someone to turn left instead of right..not knowing that one turn changed their life..live each day with purpose..even if ur not sure what it is...until next time...
