Praise and a new request

Postby K. Ayato » Sun Dec 30, 2007 7:54 pm

Well, yesterday in the afternoon I finally got to spend time with Aaron and his family in their house. Most of the time was spent talking with him and going over things we remembered, the pain and difficulties involved with breaking up, and so on. At one point, Aaron realized there was more I wanted to say but was holding it in. He gently encouraged me to just get it out and hugged me. I took a deep breath and told him I loved him, even during the times when I wanted to forget everything. Then he surprised me. He asked how I felt about maintaining a long-distance relationship. Note that this surprised me 'cause I had long considered this possibility. Knowing that he was thinking it over as well made me smile. Anyway, I told him it was bound to have difficulties (which we both experienced for one year already) but I knew the Lord was behind everything.

Later on, we exchanged belated Christmas gifts and watched a DVD I gave him. It was an amazing experience for me. All the way up to his house as I drove, I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach and was afraid things would turn out ugly. As we sat there watching the DVD, with Aaron holding my hand and having his other arm around me, well, it had God's answers all over it Smile.

So now, please keep us in prayer for the days to come. Aaron has also told me he still loves me and he's willing to work through a long-distance relationship. He did stress that communication and trust were what he needed the most to make it work. I know plenty of friends who frown on long-distance relationships and say they're always doomed to fail. Maybe so. But not when God's the one backing you up ;).

Aw, that is so great! I know many long distance relationships that did work out, as a few friends of mine are in them, and one of them is married now. I will be praying! God Bless :)

Hey, God is big! Two people can't get too far apart for Him to keep them together if they're seeking Him, right? :)

That's good, I will keep praying for you, I know that long distance relationships can be hard.

long distance relationships are hard at times....but as you said communication and trust, I hope it all works out! I'll still keep you both in my prayers
Footprints in the sand by Carolyn Joyce Carty

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand: one belonging to him the other to the lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot prints in the sand.

He noticed that name times along the path of his life there was only one set o footprints.

He also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times of his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it:

"lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."

The lord replied:

"My son, my precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you."

Thanks. I was scared a bit earlier, but I felt the Lord whisper to me, reminding me that He is the one who's in complete control. :)
