The Bible warns us not to look back at old friendships or any relationships that God has delivered us from. Lot's wife did and literally became stuck in time. My prayer is that when you're tempted to return to the past, the spirit reminds you there's so much more ahead of you!
birthdays will be a huge deal in my household. i don't want my children to EVER refer to the day they were born as just another day. that breaks my heart.
