Away from my Husband...

The honeymoon is not over, but now I'm in Tennessee and Matt is in Florida. I underestimated how difficult it would be to part temporarily from the man with whom I vowed to spend my life. I felt as though I were being ripped apart as I tearfully made my way through airport security. I missed him all the times we were apart before....but now, I ache for us to be together.

I am reassured that it is only for a couple of months, and we will fly back and forth a couple of times before then. I pray that God gives us both strength and comfort during this time of separation. I pray that the Lord opens doors for us to be together sooner than May. I pray that we both use this time to focus on the matters in front of us right now. For me, that would be devoting attention to grad school. For Matt, it would be tidying up (or getting rid of) his piles of clutter and working on a resume so that he can snag a super job here in Tennessee! Ideally, he could get a job and relocate here in April, instead of me relocating to Florida in May. Then, I would have my husband with me that much sooner! But, I pray that God has his way with our lives and that He shows us the best path and orders our steps. I relied on the Lord to bring me a partner, in His timing and not mine, so I can only rely on Him to reunite me with my husband when the time is right, according to His will.
