Ohhh, I am dreading January.
It's going to be so hard.
I will miss my family so much, but
I know that I will always have them.
What if Val gets tired of me not being there?
He says he won't, but maybe he's wrong.
How does he know?
I don't want to lose him because of that.
Well, I don't want to lose him at all.
These thoughts just make me want to
stay here in Lehigh.
God, comfort me please.
I love you, and I know that
when all else fails, You are
STILL THERE.

Courtney, I can say from experience I know how you feel. For a year Chris and I had a long-distance-ish relationship; and I can't say it was easy, because it was really hard. When you are put in a new situation, like going away for college, you want to have that one person there with you experiencing it too. But as long as you are still both there for each other, communicating as much as possible (because a text from him to you could just make your day when you are away, and a phone call from you to him is sometimes all the connection you'll need to know things will be OK).
ReplyDeleteI realize this might sound silly and somewhat like a cliche, but relationships are difficult sometimes as is without putting miles between them, but he seems to want to work with it and I'm sure you do as well, and as long as you guys do work with it, things will turn out OK.
Also, God has this amazing plan for you, and I know you know that, but He will guide you through all of these difficult situations. And Val has Him too, so if/when the distance becomes a little too much for either of you, He will be there to bring you through it.
Courtney,
ReplyDeleteI understand your fears. It was so hard last year to send Frieder thousands and thousands of miles away from me. Even though we trusted each other, I was still so scared that something would change. That he might forget why he loved me or decide that he'd rather have a German girlfriend, someone like him...but you know what. But he didn't. I trusted God that if he wanted us together, he'd send Frieder back to me. That Summer taught me all about love and trust and faith.
When you love someone, being apart from them, no matter how far away, will not erase that love. That old adage, "distance makes the heart grow fonder" is more true to me now than ever. I'm never truly completely content unless Frieder is by my side. But I trust God to bring him back to me if it is his will.
I'll be praying for you, Court. I know how hard this is--and I am only apart for 3 and a half months a year!
I'm really proud of the young woman you have become. God is too.
I love you sweetheart - were you not listening when it was said "God has a plan for you"? You're wasting today, worring about January. Be your "happy self" and reach up and take God's hand and let him guide you, taking one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Laugh and enjoy being with Val as it is now. It's easy to have faith in God but much harder to TRUST in God. And I repeat YOU ARE LOVED!
