"Love is patient and kind ..."
"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends" (1 Corinthians 13).
I saw him earlier today to say good-bye to him. He leaves tomorrow for the LDAC (i.e., Leader Development and Assessment Course). It was good to see him again and to talk to him. The feelings still remain, but I did not mention any of those feelings to him. Now is not the proper time. After all, "[l]ove is patient and kind [... and] does not insist on its own way."
I gave him a card with a letter and gift inside. Although I am not going to disclose the content of this letter, I can say it was, perhaps, the most personal and touching letter I have ever written. It was truly from the heart. The gift was my favorite cross - a gift I received from my grandmother at my First Communion. I want him to have it for the next four weeks while he is gone. I want him to keep it as a reminder of how much God loves him and how much I love him.
Four weeks ago, I would have begged God to have him back in my life. I know now, though, that I must be patient. It is in God's hands.
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."

i needed this... even if i could read for a brief moment.... since i'm at work....
and the hope that's guiding me to know God will bring the girl i'm praying for back into my life... permanently...
but i needed this post
@leadworshipper82 - I am glad it brought you comfort. However, instead of asking God to bring her back to you, ask God to help her through this period. She needs this from you. You must be strong for her.
Lastly, I am still trying to put the pieces together in order to understand your situation better. If you are comfortable enough to tell me what happened, could you send me an email at lcnewhouse@gmail.com, explaining the situation? If you do not feel comfortable, do not worry. I understand completely.
@mslisachristine - well... more or less... I am praying for her... in one form or another... i am praying for her...
