There's a line from the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie, It Takes Two:

Alyssa: You remind me of someone.

Diane: I do? Who?

Alyssa: Someone I've never met.



Have you ever experienced the feelings of Déjà vu?

You've met this stranger before. You've eaten at this new and upcoming restaurant. You go to a new area or listen to a new song and it somehow all feels so... familiar?

A local restaurant closed down near where I live. And I was greatly disappointed. I thought I had lost the delicious BBQ and amazing sides of baked beans and mashed potatoes.

Until months later, I realize there's another location of that same restaurant in a different part of town.

I don't think anything really leaves our life.

Not really anyway.

Yes, we say good-bye to friends, we grieve at funerals and say farewell to known places... but somehow we catch glimpses from the past in our present.

We smell a whiff of perfume that takes us back to our days of high school. We sit at a local eatery that reminds us of our first day in college. And we recognize what we lost in the laugh of our coworkers or in the beauty of a sunrise.

Nothing ever truly fades. They just reappear in a new and fresh way.

Keep a look out for new beginnings.

If you need prayer for anything, let me know. I would love to pray for you!
