The past two months have been filled with so much sadness. Sparks of happiness come and go but I often found my self genuinely sad. Before my best friend moved away I was rarely sad and when I was it usually only lasted a moment. The week Nick moved away my sister sent me a letter listing all the good things about long distance. The fourth on the last was " The feeling you get when you see each other again after a long time of being apart...It is the best. Like excited/nervous butterflies in your stomach." That perfectly describes how I felt as I stood in the chilled rain waiting for him to come to the parking lot. He finally game in his red zip up hoodie and I ran ( which never happens) into his wet warms. We spent the weekend thrifting with our friends, touring campus, eating college food, and going on walks. We went on a long walk. It was exactly what my heart needed. We talked about everything and it was good. The eleven hour drive was worth every moment I got to spend holding his hand and every story I got to hear him tell. We spent time in prayer and talked about our mighty king. We are blessed to have a relationship that is overflowing with joy.
My heart has been refreshed.
