The Best Is Yet To Come

Although for months I have been preparing myself for this moment to come I'm not sure I was ever going to be ready for it. Monday October 16th my boyfriend left for the United States Army basic training and AIT School, he'll be gone for a total of seven months. In MOST cases I am one of those girls that can't spend a minute without my boyfriend.(Yes I know how annoying... roll your eyes). Three years together and we have never been apart from one another like we are now. As excited I am for him I am just as much nervous and scared to be without my best friend. The person that you talk to about EVERYTHING, the person that understands and knows you better than anyone how do you say goodbye?! Sadly it hasn't been easy but God positions things in your life for a reason. Very often it is easy to let things and people get in the way of what we're doing, without even realizing that they're in the way! Truthfully sometimes God has to take things from me, for me to realize he is all I need. I am learning the power of prayer and what God will do for you and show you when you seek him. In the past few days God has already shown me so much, given me visions, ideas, nurturing me with love, simply showing me the importance of following him. With Chad leaving many people asked me "What are you going to do?" Well I still don't know how to answer that question but I do know when I feel lonely I am not alone. When I feel sad God's love supersedes. When I feel in the dark his words light the way. When the enemy is trying to steal my joy, food usually helps with that laugh out loud. My point is when you think that you can't be away or let go of a person or thing in your life, SEEK GOD. I'm aware that not everyday is going to be as joyful as today but the best is yet to come. I have an amazing God that ALWAYS sees me through and I have amazing friends and family that helps me too. While I am starting to enjoy this time away from Chad and make the best of it I am definitely counting down the months till I see my best friend again.
