Jewells of Thought

Last year at Thanksgiving I was fed up. It was one of my many times being fed up… I was just confused and uncertain of what this long-distance relationship had turned into. The ultimatum was coming from me.

Work was not a comfortable place for me only a couple of people I could confide in at the Clinic. The one person I confided in was afraid of ruffling feathers of the one putting me on pins and needles. My head felt fried more than not I felt nauseated every single morning as I walked through that door to work. I was stressed out I’m glad he didn’t take me literally.

Maybe I forced the ultimatum before all the pieces worked out for him just right. It exploded in our faces and I let someone else influence my decisions. I shut him out and felt numb and cut him off for days. To say it was rough is an understatement for both of us.

March was difficult to process and get over. It took weeks, but I can’t help but feel that the Lord was keeping us tied together. Sometime during the past few months this came up on my LinkedIn account.

When a person is willing to struggle with you, just to build with you, that’s love.

This week and today feels like the rectification of what happened during that month. This milestone will allow his new creation to finally come to fruition. The silver lining is now in full view and God has allowed us to see some sweetness calm our hearts that have now healed from a bad scenario. Showing us that we can persevere the highs and lows and survive in a long-distance relationship. Still not condoning it for others though unless God is in it for you.
