Long time no talk--or should I say. . . write. I know that I have totally been MIA.
Well, here's the thing. I took a venture into the dating world. I know, I know. Before you go shaking your head, and rolling your eyes, let me just say. . . .the "venture" lead me straight back to my sweetheart...
Its been a crazy two months. One GIANT emotional roller coaster.
This experience was so unexpected. I'm the same girl with the chain link monthly countdown, the app on my phone counting the seconds until my man returns, the blog, the faithful waiting, the binders full of pictures and letters, the weekly writing. . . . .I'M STILL THAT GIRL. Throughout this whole "situation" I have continued writing JJ, and we have been completely open and honest about everything. He has been MORE THAN UNDERSTANDING, which only makes me love him more.
I don't feel the need to really explain myself. I guess that Heavenly Father felt I needed this experience so that I truly realized what an amazing relationship I have with JJ. I have never had to rely so deeply on the Spirit. I think the moment I really made a decision about which path to take was when this quote kept crossing my mind,
"IF YOU ARE CONFUSED AS TO WHERE YOUR HEART LIES, LOOK TO WHERE YOUR MIND GOES WHEN IT WANDERS. . . "
JJ was all I could think about.
I still love him.
So, here's to five more months. . . . .

At 6 months left in my wait, I had a very similar experience. I started dating and fell for a guy and he was great but all I could think about was my missionary. All it did was make me love him more! It turned out to be good for us in the long run. It was hard, but brought us even closer together
ReplyDeleteGirls, props to you for "venturing" out like that. And props for following the spirit, especially when in a situation like this where you follow it blindly. Your blog is an inspiration to me :)
