from mine to yours
We’re about to enter a season of long days and phone call dates. Our love is about to be stripped down to its truth. The cuddles and kisses can no longer be our glue. Only connection and choice will keep us. I’m both excited and nervous to see if we will make it out of this still holding hands.

Heartbreak is the call that always brings me closer,
the teacher that always speaks the loudest,
the message that always sticks the longest.
But heartbreak bears no fruit until the healing.
“And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart …” – Deuteronomy 8:2 NKJV

When 2017 called for a new word, You answered: “be brave.” It was then I knew heartache was coming, but You would build me up to not be moved in its wake. So give me faith to stand on as these waves crash into my heart each day.
Is it braver to stay, or to leave?
You made my world feel so big.
It was endless and full of hope. Big enough to hold dreams I could not have imagined. Something that held mysteries still to be explored.
I loved it. And I loved you for it.
You kept my eyes open and full of wonder. My feet were unsure, yet I danced with excitement for the future.
But I miss you, and the horizon is nearer, my world smaller.
My vision gets cloudy. My passion wanes. I can no longer imagine beyond what I see. Fear reigns in my dreams.
Open my eyes once again, to a new Love.
She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
Proverbs 31:25
