Humbled by the Love of Others

I've been gone for a while. I thought I could get through my crazy life without writing I guess. I guess, I was wrong. I'm dealing with things great, but blogging...blogging is my way of releasing everything. So from now on I'm going to make sure I blog more often.


Okay so anyways, I finally got to spend a whole week with Tyler. And even though he worked almost the whole time and I was bored out of my mind a few times, I was so incredibly thankful for that time with him. It's been a difficult last couple of months and being able to be held by him at the end of every day for a little while made all my worries and the stress disappear. I love that guy. :) There is no denying it.

So lately my passion of course has been encouraging those in a similar situation as I find myself...in a long distance relationship (LDR). I feel as if these women (and a few men) have encouraged me more than I have encouraged them. It is so incredibly humbling to meet these people and know that I am not alone in all of this. It makes me stop throwing pity-parties for myself.

I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE STRUGGLING WITH BEING IN A LDR.

Most of those that I have met are Christians as well, which has made my journey that much more special, easier, and uplifting. To know that I can talk to them about our beliefs and what role God plays in our relationship. The best part is when they tell me, that their significant other puts God before them and they do the same. Ummm hiiiiiiii! I love meeting God-fearing couples! God has just really placed some amazing people in my life here lately.

God has recently blessed me with 6 new girl friends. We all know how badly I need girl friends. Maybe they can help me be more girly...doubtful, but they can sure try. We are all spread out across Texas, but guess what...we don't care. We talk every single day, all day long usually. We get really rowdy sometimes and have to remind ourselves we are not acting like children of God. We try out best to keep each other accountable and encourage one another when one of us is having a hard time dealing with things.

This summer has been incredible. I felt God working in me like I have never felt before, and I didn't have to go to summer camp to get that high. I believe that's the best high...when you don't get it from camp. When it comes from camp it never lasts long after that. My high is lasting a lot longer than I figured it would and I am so incredibly thankful for that.

God Bless Y'all! :)
