Long Ago and Far Away...

It's been too long since I posted anything.
Since then, I have broken up with my boyfriend, mostly for reasons of God. I am hurting, but not beyond repair. It was a good decision, and I regret nothing. I do, however, miss him more than I thought possible. But that is not the point of this post.
The point is that I am happy, oddly enough. Through this pain, God is showing me people in my life who are here to help me and to simply love me. My best friend came home today from college to spend my birthday with me. I am ecstatic!
I would also like to mention another source of happiness in my life right now. As you may be noticing, it is 2:40am where I am at this moment, and I'm blogging. I should be asleep. But I'm on a cloud...in a way. To explain, I must tell a brief story.
Two years ago, I met a boy. I was captivated by his appearance, drawn by his beautiful tenor voice, and mesmerized by his passion for both God and music. It was love at first meeting, really. He then disappeared from my life for months, with no notice whatsoever. I truly believe that God brought us back together, and we became close friends very quickly. We even shared one date before he headed across the country to a Christian university to study music. It has been quite the journey for our friendship, but we have recently reconnected. And I must say, he is making me very very happy.
His vitality and zeal never cease to amaze me. The light of Christ shines through him like no other person I've met. He is talented, and uses his talents for God. He is kind and caring, encouraging me to remain strong in my faith. All in all, he is a gift from God in my life, and I could not be more thankful.
I felt the need to share this with you, my readers. If I have any. If not, God knows. It has been a great day.

God Bless,
Amanda
