In the Dark

So, I know God has good purposes. He uses things in our lives to teach us new truths. He brings us to strange places to show us something we've never seen before so we can know him more. This is very good to know when things seem difficult.

But what if things keep happening. Friends keep moving far away, for instance--what is God trying to teach me? Coworkers are leaving work. Friends are leaving town. Is that stay here and hold the fort.. or get out now while the getting is good?

I'm a bit in the dark here. I'll let you know when the light dawns.
